Sorry, I misunderstood you there. Let us start again: can we at least agree, that it is the correct solution to use width=xxx, but it is difficult to obtain a correct value?
If so, how about recommending to use lanes=2 and est_width=4? Or maybe width=4 and source:width=estimated, because application support for est_width is even worse than for width?
