You can subclass UITableViewCelland still use UITableViewCellStyleValue2. You can then overwrite the layoutSubviews method to change the size of the labels:

- (void) layoutSubviews {

   // change frame of one or more labels
   self.textLabel.frame = CGRectMake(...);
   self.detailTextLabel.frame = CGRectMake(...);    
}
