Default varying column width by row

Can I make the column widths in one row different from the other rows?

No, the column width applies to all rows in the column. You could
merge cells, but merged cells cause a lot of problems with
copy/paste and sort.

You could however give an appearance of differing column widths by
selecting, say B10 and C10, and then:
<Format <Cells <Alignment tab,
Expand the 'Horizontal' box and click on,
"Center Across Selection"

Then, you could judiciously place borders around your cells to create the
desired display.
