This is a simplification. It could work. But users will not see any content.

This is also simpler. And users will see content. It's a fairly
dramatic change though: you go from N very narrow columns to 1 wide
column over a short range:
column-gap: 49; column-count: 3; width: 100; /* 3 columns of 0.66 width */
column-gap: 50; column-count: 3; width: 100; /* 1 column of 100 width */
column-gap: 51; column-count: 3; width: 100; /* 1 column of 100 width */
