I think that would be a very nice change.

Re your viewing problem, try 16x9 layout with "Chinese style" matching.
That seems to give you 4 each of the suits, the winds and the dragons and
1 each of the flowers and seasons.  Or maybe you could (locally) change
the line "if (++tileCount >= 4) {" to "if (++tileCount >= 2) {" ... ;-) to get
2 of each tile in the 14x6 layout.

All the best, Ian W.
