Apparently
:set
always (?) produces multi-column output.
(sounds like one of those little annoyances that others didn't bother to ask for years)

You could redirect to a buffer with very small temporary 'columns' setting (at least 12),
but that's awful.

Or :substitute the (redirected) multi-column output to get single column output:

:%s/ \+\ze\%(no\l\+\%(\s\|$\)\| \S\)/\r/gIe

Obviously the problem is how to not split within option values.
My example output (not given here) shows a statusline with spaces and these don't appear escaped, so one just
cannot skip escaped spaces -- just make it a bit more unlikely to split there.
