Info files are produced by the 'makeinfo' program which also fills and
adjusts the text as part of its job. So realigning and readjusting it
for a different width will not be trivial, since the Texinfo
directives which guide some important parts of that are gone -- they
are processed by 'makeinfo' and then thrown away, not ending up in the
produced Info file.
You may have a better starting point if you work with the HTML output
of 'makeinfo', not with Info output. Not sure that will make sense in
the context in which you wanted this.
