A faster light speed wouldn't make a difference, since she made the universe 96 billion light years wide.

Something tells me this isn't a bad thing. If there is an edge of the universe, it's probably going to be a very strange place.

I thought it was technically a three-dimensional donut shape progressing along a sort of 4D torus that we only exist on the "surface" of?

That's a common misconception. We actually live on the surface of a 3D bear claw progressing along a 4D cruller.
