In HTML4 width has been promoted to columns. You can pre-declare your
columns before you start populating them with cells [contained in rows]
and it is the columns [that persist across the rows] which can have
pre-ordained widths. And yes, they may be percentagewise as well as
in absolute pixel-counts.
I forget where they use the Em unit as the basic unit of length in
a TTY environment; that may be in the style language.
