Please. I've done so for those cited examples, visible at:

with photos taken by my shaky hand holding my phone above my iPad. So a
little blurry, but the layout is visible.
In Calibre, the layout is more condensed by default, but even there, the
server_advertise_condition wraps the layout inside the table cells
rather than truncate.
I can easily believe that we're missing sizing or hinting information
needed to get a consistently good experience. I've little idea where to
start investigating, however (and really can't afford the time suck
right now of developing passable skill at document layout tools).
So, any pointers to how I might fix this for you would be much
appreciated.
Thanks,
