Is there a way to extend the hunk-header width?

Hi folks,

Is there a way to increase the width of just the hunk-header section? That section is always getting truncated for me when I have long lines of class paths.

I tried looking through the docs in delta --help and I see there's a width value I can set but that doesn't seem to affect it. I also saw that there were other hunk-header-* entries but those were related to the styling rather than the width.

Here's a simple example:

I'm not even sure if I'm asking the right question, but basically that class path that gets truncated (class This::Is::Just....) in the middle of the image is what I'd like to extend.
