IMHO, grep occurence is random event (ps(1) manpage BUGS section), but about width i can say onl, that how about window width in case of output redirection? And ps still truncates output for 80 columns. I think, that 80 columns is default value, used whenever ps is unable to get window size. Maybe sources may help, but i don't look in them yet.
