Setting up the widget is manual. One cannot dynamically create a widget with N books. I chose 9 as a reasonable compromise.

I created a 9-wide widget on my Nexus 7 in landscape. At 1-high there is space between the covers but the covers are so small as to be close to unusable. At 2-high there is no space between the covers.

Here is the 1-high widget, width as large as permitted:

And the 2-high widget:

EDIT: I raised the limit to 12. That should be enough, says I with great hope.
