OK.  The value is defined in book_snippets.py in the following way:

self.option_dict[LINE_WIDTH] = "#(- paper-width \
left-margin-default right-margin-default)"

I haven't a clue what this does - paper-width, for example isn't mentioned  
in this file.  However, if I output the value for  
self.option_dict[LINE_WIDTH] after this line, I get 160\mm.  The easiest  
way to fix this would therefore be to change the line above to

self.option_dict[LINE_WIDTH] = '155\\mm'

This is the way INDENT is defined:

self.option_dict[INDENT] = '0\\mm'

and it would save lots of messing about.
