IE6 treats "width" as "min-width", so you can just add an IE only rule 
(I've used the star hack) telling it to use width:130px. You'll also 
need to tell it not the wrap the text it you want to keep the boxes 
inline. Like this:

* html ul#excel_legend li.userchoices {
    width: 130px;
    white-space: nowrap;
}
