If that's OK, then edit the style sheet. If not, a new plugin is probably needed, maybe a variant of the FANCYTABLE plugin that adds a width property, and can be used just for specific table instances.

Or, you could ecapsulate the entire table in a custom DIV, then just add a single new style to your CSS:

{DIV(class="mytable")}
||r1c1|r1c2
r2c1|r2c2||
{DIV}

Then, in your CSS add someting like:

div#mytable table {
...
}
