The following change in master should fix the date wrap:

Since the home page is an HTML view the width of the columns is controlled by 
the (builtin) browser. Since we have two different engines depending on the 
version of KDE (KWebView and QWebEngineView) this might also be affected by 
your local environment. You can check the setting of ENABLE_WEBENGINE using 
ccmake to see which version is used (OFF -> KWebView, ON -> QWebEngineView).

The generated HTML code contains some hints on a percentage base for the width 
of each column. That indeed is only hard-coded.

So far the generated HTML code is only set inside the view and then discarded. 
You could probably add some debug output at the end of 
KHomeViewPrivate::loadView() to get a hold of it. AFAIR it might not be human 
readable as it is a single line. You may use xmllint to indent and split it 
up. YMMV. Then changes to the generating code and some CSS foo may do what you 
are looking for. My CSS foo is at the very low end.
