Sorry.  Here it is.

  "A key letter may be followed by the letter "X" to indicate an
  expanded column.  If the modifier is used, the width of the
  corresponding column will be increased to use the remainder of the
  line length after the widths of the other columns have been
  calculated.  This feature is useful for a column containing text
  blocks where it is desired to make the column as wide as possible
  without exceeding the line length.  Only one expanded-width column
  is permitted for each table, so this modifier is limited to a single
  column in each table."
