I think the problem is that while there's a syntax to turn autoexpansion of a column *on*, there isn't a syntax to turn it *off*. %t is autoexpanded by default, so no matter what you do, it will eat all the available space. You can see that aptitude is at least reading the width information by combining %t with some other autoexpanding column (like %p, for instance).
