In the upcoming 4.0 release, we're looking to add more configuration per view. We already have had requests for different widths per view and different number of comments (for the comment box obviously). I can't guarantee it will be in 4.0 release, but can see it in there or one of the subsequent (near-future) releases afterwards.
Thanks for the suggestion. We love to have them, as we implement what works for us (and what we think will work for others), but agree with more configuration options between at least 'blog, category, featured views (as one setting) and articles as another. Always a balance of the right features without too many overwhelming settings.
Hopefully, we'll hit everything for you soon!
