Component Internal Padding, or Width?

Question

Is it possible to make a component arbitrarily wider? Either padding inside the box, a la CSS, or a width attribute, would be nice.

Thank you for your reply, Lu. I found an acceptable solution, which is to use CSS grid rather than PlantUML, since I didn't need arrows, just boxes. The arbitrary size and positioning is then achieved by having extra rows/columns as spacers between the boxes, and using the "skip" dot for the spacer rows/columns in the grid layout.

Thanks for your answer, and your workaround.
