Unfortunately, it seems it is not possible to supply a custom terminal width. It would be great to add this as a setting to PrettyPrinter. It would flow through to the render() function in that file you mentioned, and would override the value calculated from terminal_width() (the default setting would be None, which would do what it does now).
If you could implement this, it would be great. We can help you with the patch. Do you already know how to use git? We have an extensive guide on all aspects of patch submission at https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Development-workflow#wiki-how-to-send-a-patch if you need guidance (or just ask us here).
