Possible to change the CSS for code tags?

If possible, I'd like the code tag to not expand horizontally, but i would like it to expand vertically.  By expand, I mean it will not use a scrollbar and will instead take up enough of the webpage as is needed to fit the tagged text.

Because this is really dumb:

Do you want it for yourself? => Use Stylish.

If it were unlimited, people would have to scroll past large blocks of code. And I don't see how the block of code in your post is important for understanding the post.

Good point.
