Tabular presentation of segmented lists

Title: Tabular presentation of segmented lists

I use the following XML to display a segmented list in table form.  The first column has only very limited length data, the second column a long line of text.  When I transform this with XEP 4.9 I get a table OK, but the columns are of equal width.

I need to customize the table to get a narrow first column and the rest of the page for the second column.

How can I do this?

<segmentedlist><title>A Title for the Segmented list Presented as a Table</title>

<?dbfo list-presentation="table"?>

<segtitle>Abcd</segtitle><segtitle>Another title for the second column</segtitle>

<seglistitem><seg>1234</seg><seg>A long line of text here, generally will need to wrap around onto next line</seg></seglistitem>

<seglistitem><seg>5678</seg><seg>Another long line of text here, generally will need to wrap around onto next line</seg></seglistitem>

<seglistitem><seg>9012</seg><seg>And yet another long line of text here, generally will need to wrap around onto next line</seg></seglistitem>

</segmentedlist>
