What do you mean "too wide"?
I see where it's "too narrow" to display all text and I also see where you're running out of space in the window to display all items on their minimum size.

The element must be big enough to display all text. Everything else is an obvious bug.

--> If you seriously want to operate on hardcoded sizes, the only way out is to condense the text (remove 2nd level information like "free" which is a static term; ultimately elide the text) and provide full information through a tooltip or similar.
