Plasma's FormFactor is actually designed to give the applet hints how it 
should behave. If it's in a horizontal panel (i.e. the available vertical 
space is constrained), optimizing it for vertical usage of space is the right 
thing to do. If there is the space (which FormFactor::Planar means), you can 
drop eyecandy around it to make it more readable (more space for actual 
content).

You'll hit a hard limit at some point anyway, namely when the space you have 
available for text is smaller than the height of 
KGlobalSettings::SmallestReadableFont.
