AFAIK, there isn't, but you can set 'numberwidth' to a large enough
value to avoid overflow, making the numbers column fixed-width. Remember
that the numbers column, with width no less than 'numberwidth', has its
last column always empty, i.e., with set nuw=5 you'll be able to display
files of up to 9999 lines without overflow, then the number-column width
will increase.
If you know that, let's say, all of your files are less than 100,000
lines long, you can use
:set nu nuw=6 columns=86 lines=9999
which will set the gvim screen to 80 "usable" columns, a 6-column
"numbers" column (for line numbers 1-99999 right-justified with
spacefill to the left, and one space to the right) and as many lines as
the desktop will allow for your chosen 'guifont' (note: the ":winsize"
command is documented as obsolete).
(My longest text file is slightly more than one million lines -- a
_very_ long file, 33Mb for a single file, and I didn't write it myself;
I downloaded it. I maximize gvim both horizontally and vertically, and I
only rarely set 'numbut if I wanted a fixed-width "numbers" column even
for this file, I would have to set 'numberwidth' to 8.)
Best regards,
Tony.

Jimmy Carter cited this Jewish saying in his concession speech at the
end of the 1980 election. At least he said it was a Jewish saying; I
can't find it anywhere. I'm sure he's telling the truth though; why
would he lie about a thing like that?
