Hi Brad,

This is what I did when I had a similar issue.

In my custom CSS I have these classes:

.width-25 {
    width: 25% !important;
}

.width-50 {
    width: 50% !important;
}

.width-75 {
    width: 75% !important;
}

I use list-table, so my RST looks like this

    ..  cssclass:: width-50

    ..  list-table::
        :header-rows: 1
        :widths: 20 30

        * - Field
          - Description


IIRC, the cssclass directive applies to a div that encloses the table.
