As near as I can tell, there's no way to adjust the tab width for a document at *all* -- you can only change the editor default and the per-language setting. I'm surprised, thinking about it, that tab width isn't adjustable via the per-document Text Options. (And a little surprised those aren't saved with documents.)

What? Those things work over here (BBEdit 10, OS X 10.7, and worked for years).

I use this applescript saved in scripts folder, with Control-Tab set as keyboard command:

tell application "BBEdit"
    set tabW to tab width of text window 1
    if tabW > 64 then
        set tabW to 4
    else
        set tabW to tabW + 12
    end if
    set tab width of text window 1 to tabW
end tell


This allows cycling through increasingly wider tab separations, per document. Adjust your increment as desired (that's the '+ 12'), as well as the maximum (64 here) before it reverts to minimum. Tab width is sticky, so a file keeps the last width I set.

HTH.
