This does sound more like something that needs to be a “native” 
feature rather than something you can achieve by setting the tab title 
for your documents.

Currently the tab widths have a minimum width of 120 pixels set here:

It would be easy to read this from user defaults instead, though you may 
also need preferences as to how to truncate a title. Currently it’s 
truncating the middle part.
