@InitialSpace is documented, but I'm not sure whether the width
adjustment option is described.

You use it like other @Initial... options, e.g.:
@Document
@InitialFont {Palatino Base 12p}
@InitialSpace {compress +0.25s}
//
@Text @Begin
...
Note, however, Jeff's comment on the effect of @InitialSpace:

I wasn't aware of that.
