I tried messing around with tabstops in the headlines, but realized quickly that the level of headline (I think) has an influence over the number of tabstops in org-agenda. So basically you have to vary the amount of tabstops per headline, to get a uniform layout in the org-agenda view. So a more elegant solution would be to specify a layout for org-agenda-view, that determines the position of todo-items and the text immediately following them.
