That's up to the reader to decide the best text width he prefers,
e.g. by choosing a better width for the browser window or with
user-side CSS. Having more text on the screen also has an advantage
to avoid scrolling too often.

Artificially setting a maximum width so that code blocks get scrollbars
makes code more difficult to read.
