By default, the surname index contains a list of surnames, by first character, that wrap around much like a paragraph of text will wrap:

Some users prefer a columnar presentation:

You can configure the site to use a columnar surname index by adding a User Style:
selector-1: .gs-surname-list
parameters-1: column-width: 8em; column-gap: 0.5em;
selector-2: .gs-surname-list > li
parameters-2: display: block; padding-right: 0; padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;
Use the Copy / Paste User Style technique to add the User Style above to your site.
