You can use `+' and `-' to incrementally resize the buffer name + size. The
smaller they are, the more space there is for the File column.
Lines are not truncated, if you set `truncate-partial-width-windows'.
You can toggle hiding particular columns (e.g. to give more space to others,
such as File).
