Increase the width of one plot in multiple plots

Question

[G.S]

Hello,

I plotted some genes of varying lengths, but the L gene is the longest. I'm wondering if it's possible to increase the width of the L gene only in this plot

I used the following code for plotting:

      rsv_top_89 %>%   ggplot(aes(x = AAPosition, y = prop_ratio))+  
     geom_line(aes(color = Condition))+  geom_text(data = . %>% 
filter(prop_ratio > 0.045),nudge_y = 0.02, size=6,
             aes(label = RefSite), stat = "unique")+  

     facet_wrap(.~Protein, scales = "free_x", ncol = 2)+   

    scale_y_continuous(expand = expansion(mult = c(0,0.1)))+ 
       theme_bw(base_size = 18)+   scale_color_manual(
            values = c(
            "HRSV" = "#de2d26",
            "HRSV" = "#3182bd"
            )   )+ylab("Ratio")+ xlab("Amino acid position")+  
      theme(
            strip.clip = "on",
            legend.position = c(0.9,0.1),
            plot.margin = margin(10,10,10,10,"pt"),
            panel.grid.major.y = element_line(), base_size = 15,hjuts= -5
            #panel.grid.minor.y = element_line()

Yes, the cowplot package is your friend. You can probably also work with grid.arrange() alone for that simple layout, but cowplot is so convenient that I have switched entirely to it.
