I don't know how to manipulate the tabulate box cell size, but working with the table its self is relatively easy when there are long strings.
For example:
New Table( "untitled",
Add Rows( 5 ),
Set Cell Height( 100 ),
New Column( "chars",
Character,
"Nominal",
Set Values(
{"adfs asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf", "asdf", "asdf asdf",
"asdf asdf asdf", "asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf"}
),
Set Display Width( 100 )
)
);
Set Cell Height() works on all rows, and the column property, Set Display Width() works set the column width.
Not exactly what you were looking for, but close. Hopefully someone else will know how, or maybe its a wish list item?
