I think the quick answer is to open the "Listing mode" dialogue box:

    f9 > Left(Right) > Listing mode

simply append a colon ":" and number (with no spaces) to the field you 
want to define. Available fields are detailed somewhere in the embedded 
help file.

My settings fix the filesize field at 12 characters, and two other fields 
at 5 chars.

  Listing mode
  (*) User defined:
      half type name | size:12 | mtime | owner:5 | group:5 | mode
