If you are looking at a 2 column table (rare probably), or a multi- 
column where all but the first column are the same width, there is a  
CSS selector to pick out the first occurrence of a child element - so  
use something like
    table { width: 100%;}
    tr:first-child { width: 40%; }

I think there are some additional tricks of this type, but my CSS cribs
are at home...
