In the meantime, I have a work around:

class ScalaingTable(Table):

     def __init__(self, data, **kw):
         self._scaleWidthPercent = kw.pop('scaleWidth', 100)
         Table.__init__(self, data, **kw)

     def wrap(self, availWidth, availHeight):
         Table.wrap(self, availWidth, availHeight)
         if self._width < availWidth and self._scaleWidthPercent:
             scale = float(self._scaleWidthPercent)/100
             scale_width =  scale * availWidth/self._width
             self._colpositions = [p*scale_width for p in 
self._colpositions]
             self._colWidths = [w*scale_width for w in self._colWidths]
             self._width = availWidth * scale

         return (self._width, self._height)

It'd be great to find the docs for '*', None, and how permutatiopns of 
'*', None and numeric column widths are supposed to interact...

cheers,

Chris
