Indeed, I think CSS would be a better approach. And of course I don't know
what this particular application is, but it's usually better to specify the
width of objects as a percentage of the overall width.
This is discussed, for instance, at:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_table.asp
Here's a line from one of my old .org files that shows the syntax:
#+STYLE: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./junk.css" />
It's also possible to embed the styling information directly in the Org-mode
file, but I find that to be less convenient, as you then have to re-export to
make a change to the style.
Caveat: I haven't done any HTML exporting to speak of lately, certainly none
that has involved CSS, so it may be that the syntax has changed (i.e.,
compared to the above STYLE directive).
