According to http://www.unixtop.org/download/, the latest top version
is already 3.7. The old version such as 3.2 is missing some mportant
features such as number of top processes to show. I can stty rows
<smaller number than window height> to limit that. But the trick
doesn't work when I run top in batch mode (top -b). I have to pipe to
head.
Is there anywhere to download the rpm of the new version of top?

It doesn't appear that anyone has built the rpm yet, but you can always
download the source, and
./configure --prefix=$HOME && make && make install
which will provide you with $HOME/bin/top and $HOME/share/man/man1/top.1
until either you yourself or some repository builds the rpm for general
system installation.
