Specifying a narrower column width would be very awkward. In my specific case, I calculate the column edges based upon images to be displayed on the page. In addition, each paragraph of text can have a unique indentation. This means that in order to calculate the narrower column width, the number of lines that a paragraph covered would have to be calculated first and then the column width narrowed only in that region.
