Under the bonnet, XEDIT support for BFS are pipelines to load and write
the file into the existing structure. If you want a width larger than
the default, you must specify so at the initial XEDIT command. Also
note that the ring can contain a mix of BFS and normal files.

Still an unfortunate choice. For BFS, the Width and Trunc default
should be, "Doesn't matter", or "As much as you like".
That would require XEDIT to use whole a different model for the file in
storage. XEDIT's model has always been a set of fixed-length records,
which it pads on loading and strips on saving if the file is RECFM V.
It needs to know the WIDTH before it can load the file.
