vega-lite: How to break legend into multiple columns

Consider the following contrived example:

{
  "data": {"url": "data/cars.json"},
  "mark": "point",
  "encoding": {
    "x": {"field": "Horsepower","type": "quantitative"},
    "y": {"field": "Origin","type": "nominal"},
    "color": {"field": "Miles_per_Gallon","type": "ordinal"}
  }
}

The dataset has many values for Miles_per_Gallon so the color legend will have many elements and will be considerably larger than the plot itself.

Is there a way to show this legend in multiple columns, rather than a single one?

You can use the Miles per Gallon as a quantitative variable. 

{
  "data": {"url": "data/cars.json"},
  "mark": "point",
  "encoding": {
    "x": {"field": "Horsepower","type": "quantitative"},
    "y": {"field": "Origin","type": "nominal"},
    "color": {"field": "Miles_per_Gallon","type": "quantitative"}
  }
}
