Aligning Text within Legend with Example Code

I am wanting to get the cleanest look using this code chunk which overlays my plot in R

legend(130, 0.0150, legend = c(paste0("Large diameter  ", format(center, digits=6)),
                            paste0("Minimum            ", format(min2, digits=6))),
       bty = "n")

Notice the large white spaces. But this achieves the effect I want

But I know there's a better way to do this! I additionally want to add more descriptive statistics to the plot and this has to be a very inefficient way of doing it. So, what's the best way to align the text and numbers? Any way to beautify to this further? Thanks all!

You could just print two legends side by side.

Example

Example plot:

curve(cos(x)/100, xlim=c(0, 250), ylim=c(0, .02), col="blue")
center <- 135.873; min2 <- 86.3301  # values

Legend:

legend(130, 0.0150, legend=c("Large diameter", "Minimum"), bty="n")
legend(200, 0.0150, legend=c(format(center, digits=6), 
                             format(min2, digits=6)), bty="n")
