Current greasemonkey in testing seems to be missing a link.
Running the following in xterm fixed it for me:

(need to restart microB afterwards, e.g. by closing all of its windows)

I made a very basic greasemonkey script, that sets the minimum width on talk.maemo.org to 1050 pixels.
Don't have a webspace to host the script, so I'll just post the code here
Code:
// Increase body minimum width script for talk.maemo.org
//
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// ==UserScript==
// @name          Body width extender
// @namespace     body_width_extender
// @description   extends the minimum body width on talk.maemo.org to 1050 pixels
// @include       http://talk.maemo.org/*
// ==/UserScript==


document.body.style.minWidth="1050px";
Save this into 'body_width_extender.user.js' somwhere on your N900 and open it with microB (e.g. 'file:///home/users/MyDocs/body_width_extender.user.js'). Confirm the dialog and the script will be installed. Now tmo should increase it's width to 1050 pixels after fully loading.

To add more sites to be affected by the script or to uninstall it access 'chrome://greasemonkey/content/manage.xul‎' in microB.

A more complex script that uses configurable widths for particular sites would not be too hard write either (writing a nice UI for this would take some time however).
