Ah, interesting.  I took the more simple approach (for me):

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun esf/display-buffer-in-side-window (buffer alist)
    ;; (message "here we are with alist=%s" alist)
    ;; (message "frame width=%d height=%d" (frame-width) (frame-height))
    (if (> (frame-width) 100)
        (display-buffer-in-side-window buffer '((window-width . 0.28)
                                                (side . left)
                                                (slot . 0)))
      (display-buffer-in-side-window buffer '((window-height . 0.25)
                                              (side . bottom)
                                              (slot . 0)))))
  (setq display-buffer-alist
        '(("^\\*Async Shell Command*" . (display-buffer-no-window))
          ("\\*[Hh]elp\\*" . (esf/display-buffer-in-side-window))))
#+end_src 

(elided for clarity)

Thank you all that pointed me in the right direction!
