My mode line where I type this looks like this:

 -\**-  *mail*         Bot L30    (Mail Fly/en Abbrev Fill) 9:41PM 0.08 [100%]

So the "-\**" part, the Top/nn%/Bot part, the L30 part, the 9:41PM
part, the 0.08 part, and the [100%] part will have to use the fixed
advance width?

And do you know which character's width should we take as the
"standard" width for this purpose?

Btw, I still don't think I understand why aligning each field to a
certain pixel value would not look better (and be easier to
implement).
