Tip, in case you didn't know: exploring CSS with a tool like Firefox's Firebug is a great way to quickly work out which css in which file is driving what you see. Learning Firebug or its equivalent (like Chrome's developer tools) is pretty useful with modern sites since there are so many sources of CSS.
100% means the grid is as wide as its enclosing DIV, which you know of course. So you're correct, you want to make the whole page wider. Explore the CSS above, using a tool like Firefox. On a default page (an app copied from the welcome app) you'll see that the grid is probably contained in a container class div; the width comes from the bootstrap css I think. There are few approaches to how you provide a wider screen. You can put css directly into this specific view, or you can adjust your layout.html, or make a layout_wide.html and use that in pages which you need to be wider. It may be considered an unusal request here because most people are conscious of keeping sites responsive to different screen widths. Perhaps you can redesign your form so that people click buttons or links to view additional information about a record.
