You should test such pages in another browser or two. If the page is narrowly
displayed in them too, the fault is in (very common) clueless and/or rude web
design, which there's no practical way to deal with in Epiphany. Some other
browsers provide a view or other menu option to disable site styles, which
both enlarges the mousetype to your system settings size, and removes the
page's width constraint. That option usually makes the pages usable, but also
usually boring to look at.

http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/bbcSS.html demonstrates the narrow width problem you
describe. It can be used as a reference when complaining to site owners about
their stupid designs.
