I assume that L3P allows the output to be any aspect ratio. The page is a
little confusing that way. However, it's trying to tell you how the camera
angle argument works, going on the assumption you haven't changed the aspect
ratio. Just substitute "width" for 4 and "height" for 3 in various spots.
Oh, and I'm not really sure of the significance of the viewing angle he chose,
but it appears to be 2 * atan((height/2) / 3).

| (...) The 4/3 is the aspect ratio of the POV generated rendering (matches 800x600, 1024x768, 1600x1200 etc.). If you for some reason want POV to do a high, narrow (or low, long), rendering this factor has to be changed. It's often easier to do a (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I'm not sure how that gets worked into the upcoming version of l3p, which does have a (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
