I have two suggestions, one that I have no experience with, and one I do:
First, you can write an AppleScript that attaches to the documentDidOpen event.
Detect whether it's a log, and resize the window as you wish. You can also turn
off soft wrapping for that file. You're done.
See page 291ff of the BBEdit User Manual (version 10.5.4). If you have a
different edition, look in the table of contents for "Attaching AppleScripts to
Events."
Second, partial, and you say you don't want it. It turns soft wrapping off for
log files:
First, open the Languages preferences, and add Log File to the upper list.
Double click it, and in the Editor tab, turn off soft wrapping.
If your files consistently have the name extension .log, you're done.
If they don't have the .log extension, but do have a consistent, unique
extension, use the lower list in the Languages panel, add Log File,
double-click it, and add your extension.
