Instead of relying on static title tooltip, you can implement your own tooltips.

The only thing you may do is to add padding with white-space characters, such as

<a title="&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;some text here&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;">

example

Not really setting the width, but that's what you get :p Not sure about browser compatibility, but it works here on chrome.

EDIT: Actually don't have to use entities either it seems, so plain spacebar-pressing is sufficient..

No, the title is browser specific implementation. You will need to roll your own title implementation using divs in order to personalize its aspect.
