Hi,

What you want to control is the width of what we call the tick labels for
the vertical axis.   The API does not provide a way of setting this width
directly, but you can indirectly control it with a combination of the
overall width, which you have set to 700, and the chartArea.width.  So for
example, you could add this to your options:

    "chartArea": {
      "width": "500"
    }

and that would leave about 200 pixels for the width outside of the chart
area.  Keep in mind, this outside area includes the space to the right of
the chart as well as the left.  Hope that helps.
