top: raise the amount by which top's stat buffer grows

We won't go as far as the merge request shown below in
increasing buffer size, but we'll reduce substantially
total iterations while growing it to achieve one read.

[ and this seems in line with what was recently done ]
[ to accommodate the massively parallel environments ]
[ thru 2 abreast ('4') and combined cpus ('!') modes ]
