Just use two different layouts and create a refs.xml file in your nornal values folder, if you don't have one already, in that do something like;

<item name="plus_buttons" type="layout">@layout/plus_buttons_small_grid</item>

And then for screenwidths that you think the horizontal arrangement will fit perfectly, say 600dp, create a folder called values-sw600dp in your res directory and do something in another refs.xml in that folder like this;

<item name="plus_buttons" type="layout">@layout/plus_buttons_large</item>

With this you have two layout files that are independent of each other and work for all the desired screen widths

I would provide two layout files. The portrait has 3x LinearLayout 

v

 -h

 -h

and landscape just one horizontal.

In terms of performance you should not fear a difference.
