What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I have a 16x1 Display, wich is controlled as a 8x2 one
2. Try to use setCursor(12,0) failed, because this address is not valid
3. recalculating setCursor(12,0) to setCursor(4,1) every time is some how crazy.

I modified the setCursor routine as follows to have the functionality

void LiquidCrystalFast::setCursor(uint8_t col, uint8_t row)         // this can 
be called by the user but is also called before writing some characters.
{
    if ( row > _numlines ) {
        row = _numlines-1;    // we count rows starting w/0
    }
    if ( col > numcols ) {      // Bug fix — Linefolding for setCursor
        row = row + 1;
        col = col - numcols;
    }
    _y = row;
    _x = col;
....

It would be nice to have this in a "official" version.

Best
