While this feature is implemented in vers1.6 as StvnW said, for earlier versions you can do the following:

In admin.py:

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    # your code here

    # specify a stylesheet just for the list view
    class Media:
        css = {'all': ('css/mymodel_list.css')}

In mymodel_list.css:

/* replace '5' with the column desired */
table#result_list td:nth-child(5) {
    width: 15em;
}

Specifying table#result_list will apply this stylesheet only to the list view and won't affect the normal admin page for this model. Also, note that while django uses th for the first column of the model, it still counts for a td child.
