Yup.
The LCD module uses a HD44780 compatible controller.
The HD part is a Hitachi LCD controller, widely copied, that supports 
up to 40 characters x 2 lines.
The 2nd line character RAM addresses start at 0x40, regardless of how 
many characters are actually used.
There's a nice FAQ at http://www.mobydisk.com/winamp/lcdfaq.txt

Colin,

  I assume your sequencer will work with a 20by2 LCD just aswell as a 16by2?
I've found a display I want to use (red on black) but its only available in
20by2..
  I assume their will be four blank characters at the right, is this the
case? as I know some LCDs require you to sepcify which line you right to
and some over run from line 1 to line 2...
