Default Array formula that works columnwise?

I have an nxm rectangular range of cells, for which I want to determine the
largest columnwise data span ("range" in statistical terms). Clearly, I can
do this using a row of m helper cells each containing
=MAX(column)-MIN(column)
with the desired result then given as =MAX(helper_row).

Can this be done in a single cell without the helper row?
