There are many ways to accomplish this, but in the context of Simple XML, we can embed CSS to hide padding panels that reduce the width of other panels:

 

<dashboard>
  <label>Panel Width</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <single>
        <search>
          <query>| stats count 
| eval count="WAN"</query>
        </search>
      </single>
    </panel>
    <panel>
      <single>
        <search>
          <query>| stats count 
| eval count=100</query>
        </search>
        <option name="unit">%</option>
      </single>
    </panel>
    <panel>
      <single>
        <search>
          <query>| stats count

        <option name="unit">%</option>
      </single>

      <single>

        </search>
        <option name="unit">%</option>
      </single>
    </panel>
    <panel id="hiddenpanel1"/>
    <panel id="hiddenpanel2"/>
    <panel id="hiddenpanel3"/>
    <panel id="hiddenpanel4"/>
  </row>
  <row>

        }
      </style>
    </html>      
  </row>
</dashboard>
