Menu: Edit->Preferences. Set "Number of octaves" to 8 and also "Base octave" 
to 2 or less. With so many keys in the screen the size of the keyboard shall  
decrease accordingly. About the other question: you can run more than one 
instance of the program at a time, but I think it is not very comfortable. 
Maybe you want to open some feature requests at SourceForge? ;-)

BTW: everybody is welcome to contribute with feedback, bug reports, feature 
requests, code, patches, ohloh stack entries, comments...
