I have attached a reasonably simple example. The second table is
noticeably wider.

import reportlab.lib.colors as colors

elements = []
styles = reportlab.lib.styles.getSampleStyleSheet()

doc = reportlab.platypus.SimpleDocTemplate("test.pdf")

table_width = doc.width
style = styles["Normal"]
text1 = """Blah
Blah
Blah"""
text2 = """Foo
Shoe
Moo"""
text3 = """Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

para1 = reportlab.platypus.XPreformatted(text1, style)

para3 = reportlab.platypus.Paragraph(text3, style)

table_data = [[para1, para2]]
table1 = reportlab.platypus.Table(table_data)
table2 = reportlab.platypus.Table(table_data, [table_width/2, table_width/2])
style_data = [("BOX", (0, 0), (-1, -1), 1, colors.black)]
table_style = reportlab.platypus.TableStyle(style_data)
table1.setStyle(table_style)
table2.setStyle(table_style)

elements.append(table1)
elements.append(para3)
elements.append(table2)

doc.build(elements)
