Comment (by jmantysalo):

 Here is, if I thinked this right, the smallest lattice with breadth 4:

 {{{
 n = 4
 l = [[0,i] for i in range(1,n+1)]

 l += [[i, i+n] for i in range(1,n+1)]
 l += [[i, i+n+1] for i in range(1,n)]
 l += [[n, n+1]]

 l += [[i, i+n] for i in range(n+1, 2*n+1)]
 l += [[i, i+n+1] for i in range(n+1,n*2)]
 l += [[n*2, n*2+1]]

 l += [[i, n*3+1] for i in range(2*n+1, 3*n+1)]

 L = Poset(( [], l)).completion_by_cuts().canonical_label()
 }}}

 This is not easily generalized. `n=5` will not make a lattice of breadth
 5.

 However, can this be used as a part of test for a lattice to have breadht
 4? If br(L)=4, there must be an antichain `A` of `4` elements with join
 `j`. Element `j` must cover at least four element. They can not be the set
 `A`. They can not directly cover `A`, because it is just impossible to
 make the lattice so that three element from `A` would not have meet `j`.

 So to check take one element a time and try to put in as a `j` in this
 structure. If the element covers less than four element, it is not right
 one. If it does, take all four-element subsets of the lower covers of
 `j`-candidate. For those... somehow continue a-kind-of backtracking.

 We can remove all doubly irreducible elements, as removing thme won't
 change the breadth, except from 2 to 1 in a diamond-like stucture.
