don't customize ploneColumns.css, customize ploneCustom.css you can 
override the plone stuff there, and it updates better.

just override the width (it should be em, because of scaling 
(accessibility)) there aswell.

the following code snippet should do it for most modern browsers (not 
tested):

body {
     text-align: center;
}

#visual-portal-wrapper {
     width: 40em;
     margin: 0 auto;
}

if you need better browser support:
