By having a peek at the API docs:
<http://help.eclipse.org/stable/nftopic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/index.html>

... I'd say I'd try to use a org.eclipse.jface.layout.TableColumnLayout:
<http://help.eclipse.org/stable/nftopic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/jface/layout/TableColumnLayout.html>

...that class's setColumnData(Widget, ColumnLayoutData) method:
http://help.eclipse.org/stable/nftopic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/jface/layout/TableColumnLayout.html
#setColumnData(org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget,%20org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ColumnLayoutData)

...with, say, an appropriately configured instance of ColumnWeightData:
<http://help.eclipse.org/stable/nftopic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/jface/viewers/ColumnWeightData.html>

...but, in all honesty, that's just a guess.
