Column sorting and displayed settings are common among playlists/ Intelligent Playlists/ iTunes playlists/ explorer/ ...etc.
So I'm afraid you cannot change for each playlists.
Each of "show the upper part of the artwork" and "show the entire artwork" can have separate settings.
By switching the the artwork mode, you can quickly switching the column settings.
The switching bottons are on the left of search box.
I hope this will helps you.
