Try this

1       enter your four long words with a non-breaking space 
(ctrl-shift-spacebar) 
between each word
2       Press <enter>
3       enter your four short words with a non-breaking space 
(ctrl-shift-spacebar) 
between each word
4       select the two sentences and click on right align icon
5       place your cursor at the end of the short word sentence and insert non-
breaking spaces until the left most character aligns with the left most 
character in the longer sentence

try selecting the sentences and increasing/decreasing the font size
