How do I display an array of a certain width(say eighteen 1's) in one line?

Here are two arrays of numbers:

#let a = (40,50,55,64,75,88,99,69,72,79,80,86,95)
#a
#let b = (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)
#b

Both can be dispayed in one line as expected, and the end of the array is still far from the right margin.
However, if you add one more dot/digit/number:

#let a1 = (40,50,55,64,75,88,99,69,72,79,80,86,95.)
#let a2 = (40,50,55,64,75,88,99,69,72,79,80,86,951)
#let b1 = (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1.)
#let b2 = (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)

the array will be displayed vertically, one number for each line.
It seems that there’s a strict width limit for an array. I know I can display a long array in math mode and in some cases this feature makes reading easier. Just want to know if I can adjust the limit because it can be useful.

Your examples output the raw array type directly. You wouldn’t use this output for a final document directly, but rather during the documents/templates development for debugging.
To display an array in a final document, I would do something like this.

#let a = (40,50,55,64,75,88,99,69,72,79,80,86,95,66)
(#a.map(str).join(", "))

But to answer the question, there is no option to adjust the limit for the build in representation.

Thank you so much! Looks like I’ve jumped some important parts in the tutorial :melting_face:
