Thanks for the answer. I thought it might be that one just needed
to adjust, say, a parameter, to make it consistent with the
regular maximal variable names length but I guess this would spoil
the fixed layout. Another suggestion would be to somehow "switch"
to variables IDs if the name is too long. Something like ID_xyz or
such, instead of simply truncation with ~.
OK, that's an idea worth thinking about.
Then I could use copy & paste to adjust the names in the latex
tables, without risking to mix everything up.
My first thought is that with looong names you might want to depart
from the triangular matrix format altogether.
