perhaps someone else will have a better idea.
Mobi permits you do define margins, but they are "global" for the entire book. You can specify a left-indent for a specific paragraph; you cannot change the right margin.

The "killer" here is the "precisely one screenful" requirement, since that is device and setting-dependent.
