You can squeeze more strips under each lenticule, and each line is the same
width.  You'll have to consider the resolution of your printer to determine
if you can do this with your particular setup.  You obviously can't have a
line that is smaller than the printed size of a pixel, so the maximum
number of views will depend on how thin you can print a line.  More views
are better.

Makers of lenticulars tend to be very jealous of their procedures, but the
lens manufacturers are trying to expand their market, so you might be able
to coax some recommendations from them.
