If you had 4 columns and only last column needed to expand to fill the rest of the table width and the other columns remained the size I set in Scene Builder.

width += col2.widthProperty().get();
width += col3.widthProperty().get();

col4.prefWidthProperty().bind(table.widthProperty().subtract(width));

Or if you had 2 columns that needed to expand then.

double width = col1.widthProperty().get();
width += col3.widthProperty().get();

col2.prefWidthProperty().bind(table.widthProperty().subtract(width).divide(2));
col4.prefWidthProperty().bind(table.widthProperty().subtract(width).divide(2));
