you might try something like the following
function! ActualNumberWidth()
if !&number
return 0
endif
let numwidth = strlen(line('$')) + 1
return (numwidth > &numberwidth) ? numwidth : &numberwidth
endfunction
au CursorHold,CursorHoldI * let c=80 + ActualNumberWidth() | if c != &columns
| let &columns=c | endif
The function calculates the space used for the last line number if the
'number' option is set, and the autocommand sets the new width if
the size has changed. You can remove the test for changes, but then you
will notice a flickering whenever the CursorHold/CursorHoldI event is
fired
Expanding the function to multiple windows with different number widths
is left as an exercise to the reader. ;-)
