dstat column size in text format

[lm-jkominek]

Hi, I am using dsub to submit tons of jobs to Google Cloud. The thing is, my jobs have long names (close to the 50 or so character limit allowed by GCP) and they usually share the beginning portion of those names. Since the the simple/default text output format of dstat caps column sizes - "Job Name" at 15 characters, and "Status" at 42 characters, it's hard for me to see at a quick glance what is happening with specific jobs. Sure, I can use the full format, which does contain the full info, but that's not exactly easily readable without an additional parser.

Is there any chance this could be adjusted, either through a custom arg or automatically? I noticed that that Status column does get automatically adjusted if the contents are short, for example if all jobs are in "Pending" status, but this doesn't happen for job names.
