I don't think that would work consistently though, would it? The words of the paragraph could be half the width of the available space, and thus would not fit two on the same line with a space between them. If that was the case, then 0.7* would not shrink to fit, would it? And if you did 0.5* instead, then you would have smaller words wrapping to the next line when they didn't need to.
