Thanks Vittorio, but this solution is not the one I'm looking for. I
would like the right column to be right aligned and the left column to
be left aligned. When I do that with your solution (changing the "rl"
to "lr") this turns our to be the original matrix I started with. As I
said, I need the right column to overfill the left one in order to
make the equation fit inside one column of the document.
Anyways, thank you very much.
