Dynamic Column width for a report

Question

Will the width property of a column be able to be set at run-time (i.e. ability to set the width of a column to an expression) in SQL Reporting Services 2008? One problem I have seen is the inability to set the width of columns in a report when you you have several columns whose order is determined based on parameters.
Lets say I have 2 columns in a report and two fields from the database which will populate those columns: 1 field that is varchar(5) and one which is varchar(50). If I do not know which column each field will go to until runtime how am I supposed to adjust the column width? Letting the column width be set by an expression would solve everything as I could pass the width in to the report. As it stands now, I would have to set each column's width to accomodate a field of type varchar(50) in order to avoid wrapping of data.
You could say just create 2 reports, one for each case, but what if I had 15 fields? 20?
Has anyone figured out how to dynamically set the width of a column? Will the width of a column be able to be set at run-time in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 via expression or some other means?
Questions, questions, questions.

Ok slight update
RDL xml files are used during deisgn of reports but when you deply they go into the Content column of a table called Catalog:
SELECT [Name],
CAST(CAST([Content] AS VARBINARY(MAX)) AS XML) AS reportXML
FROM [Catalog]
WHERE type = 2
So I think this can be edited programmatically.  Widths can be found like this:
        <TableColumns>
          <TableColumn>
            <Width>9cm</Width>
          </TableColumn>
          <TableColumn>
            <Width>3.02646cm</Width>
          </TableColumn>
          <TableColumn>
            <Width>3.25cm</Width>
          </TableColumn>
          <TableColumn>
            <Width>3.5cm</Width>
          </TableColumn>
          <TableColumn>
            <Width>3.5cm</Width>
          </TableColumn>
        </TableColumns>
