From the README.cabrillo:

"The name of the item has to be followed by a comma ',' and a
number specifying the character width of that field in the QSO: line.
Items which are to wide will be limited to that width."

So the above means:

Put the second word of exchange field into the next column and make the
column exactly 9 characters wide (by cutting to long entries or by
filling with spaces).

Switching to Cabrillo v3 and allowing the header to also be
configurable is one of the next steps before a final TLF-1.2.0.

I put out the current version to get some first feedback early.
