> a few KMs wide.

The kilometre (SI symbol: km; /ˈkɪləmiːtər/ or /kɪˈlɒmətər/), spelt kilometer in American English and Philippine English, is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one thousand metres (kilo- being the SI prefix for 1000).

Not KM.

some people might write "just a few clicks" or "just a few KMs".

No, the unit for a kilometre is lowercase „km“, not KM.
