Though just a first pass, since Paul threw down the challenge:

 :s/.*/\=submatch(0)."\n".(join(map(split(submatch(0), '|', 1),
 'printf("%".strlen(v:val)."s", strlen(v:val))')))/g

gives a pretty close approximation to his solution as a
one-line :substitute command. Differences I notice:

1) it has one extra 0-width field listed at the end which shows the
width of the last column (in Paul's sample input, it was zero-width,
but if there were additional characters, it would list how wide the
field was)

2) it right-justifies the number with the pipe rather than
left-justifying it.

So on Paul's example, I get

  |            |   |          | abcde | |
  0           12   3         10       7 1 0
