My first ugly-but-post-processable idea was to

:set columns=12

(apparently the min allowed..something I hadn't considered
before) and then each value output from ":set" comes out on its
own line (or split across multiple lines if too long...but
appears unbroken in :redir output)

and then restore your previous value for 'columns'. Granted, for
obvious reasons, your diff will have a mismatched value for
'columns' ;-)
