If you just want to fill the available space in the width and use whatever makes sense in the height you can tell it to have the number of columns you need, say you want to have 5 columns:

timg --grid=5x1 *.jpg

The 5x1 means: fill the width with 5 columns and take whatever space is needed up to the height of the terminal.

If you want to limit the height in a particular way, you need to also give the geometry.

timg --grid=5x1 -g 100x50 *.jpg

Will make the images at most 50 characters high and attempts to fit 5 columns in the 100 character width.

Ideally, you'd just give the height and let timg figure out the width, but currently timg only does either full automatic or full manual (so here, we ideally would like to have something like -gx50, meaning only the height is specified). I think this would be a good feature to have; let me think about that.
