Is there a way to make the list of subcategories displayed on the category browse page different from the index page?

In other words, on the index page, I want the categories listed in 1 column. On the browse page, I want them listed in 3 or 4 columns.

Is there a way to do this?

I've looked at the post "Custom category listing in browse.html" at the blog, but I'm not sure what this does or if it does what I'm asking.
