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.
