Unfortunately you cannot adjust width and height with a normal app. Only an AppWidgetHost can do that (i.e. a launcher): https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/host.html.
It's really very unfortunate that the Android team haven't improved the stock launcher lately - so most 3rd party devs doing launchers would follow their steps - this could be done easily providing an API to let normal apps ask the launcher to resize the widget. And that decision of keeping the same size when switching to landscape... sigh. Why they haven't exchanged width and height? For example, a 3x2 portrait widget should be automatically changed to a 2x3 landscape widget.
