Seeing how this setting exists on the L630, which appears to be 4.5", it's a given that all Lumias 92x and up are going to get that option (I'm guessing even the 1320 and 1520?).
It's really really great that Microsoft is giving us the OPTION to make our device look how we want it to, but I'm quite worried that users of Lumia 820, 720 and HTC 8X will be left out of this one.
Microsoft made it pretty clear that a row of 3 tiles depends very much on the size of the display (information will be readable regardless, it's just that there needs to be the non-touchable space between tiles and edges of the screen). While it may be a bit too much information at once on a 4.3", I think I can judge that by myself (and how good my eyes are, of course).
If such an option will not be present for users of these devices or those with this screen size (L820 owner here), then I surely know where 3 of my votes will go in Microsoft's Suggestion List.
EDIT: It has been confirmed. Every WP device is able to use a 3rd column and we have an optional toggle for it. All hail Microsoft !
