Just thinking out loud here - this is untested and possibly impossible... Can you render it with a nice default point size, then scale the new layer to fit? A more elegant approach - render with a default point size, measure the new layer - if the new layer is too large, re-render at a smaller point size - you can use the ratio if [target width]/[new text layer width] = [default point size]/[the point size you need to fit]. You may need to convert the text layer to a non-text layer to get actual measurements - not sure. Again - just rambling here, but maybe it will be useful...
