Yes there is a possibility. In the format option, you can specify two CSS names, one for the
attribute and one for it's value. The default ones are "attribname" and "attribvalue". Just
make new ones by copying these two, renaming it to something like xxxname and xxxvalue where
"xxxx" is the name of the attribute. You find that in the file themes/default/default.css.
They contain a field called "width:" which can be changed:

.typename {
  width:150px;             <-- must be changed
  background-color:#CCCCFF;
  border:1px solid #0000FF;
  border-top:1px solid white;
  border-left:1px solid white;
  padding:3px;
}

By having separate classes for all attributed, you can change their width separately,
accomplishing hopefully what you need.

I will put this on the wishlist.
