idk, IMO the docs are amazing for free by volunteers. read about grids. there's a reason 960 is the norm, (has to do with the math).
My first reply had a sentence that I still feel is key to your problem: Omega uses media queries -- to define a flexible grid width that is proportional to 960. the @wide media query can be used to define the larger size ... which is actually larger than 1024 -- and will scale down as needed.
worth your time. this guy is the inventor of responsive: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/
Ethan Marcotte has an amazing chapter Dan Cedarholms book: http://simplebits.com/notebook/2009/07/01/handcraftedcss/ -- that explains the essence of responsive in detail. Really good stuff.
there are websites that allow you to calculate grids based on widths and columns, etc. they'll spit out the fundamental css you'll need.
here's one: http://www.gridsystemgenerator.com
good luck!
