How do I set the terminal width to a certain number of characters using stty? Or "make it think" that it is that wide?

stty cols N
Where N is the width (in characters) you want. I'd suggest reading "man stty" for more details.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
