Marking this as the dublicate of the 'Spacing too large between icons in "folder view mode" in the desktop' renamed as 'Implement a slider to control horizontal grid spacing'. If not reopen this one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 403094 ***

While I still think we will ultimately need a label width/grid size control like Dolphin has (Bug 403094), that's controversial so I'll use this to improve the current hardcoded width. And who knows, maybe this time the default width will be good enough that nobody complains anymore and we won't have to. :)
Here's a patch: https://phabricator.kde.org/D20368
Git commit 1c2dd97e8cd493d7cb92a3e398cc68317e01a996 by Nate Graham. Committed on 08/04/2019 at 14:44. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'Plasma/5.12'. [Folder View] Use a more reasonable minimum cell width Summary: With the goal of making Folder View items' labels more legible, 78da28e7ab7d51e46fa26788d4890b692996ad36 increased the minimum cell width, resulting in each cell being much wider when icon sizes are small. The goal was achieved, but the change went a bit too far and people have understandably complained about the width being too high and looking silly when the icon size is small, especially for items with very short labels. This patch reduces the minimum width a bit to improve the situation. I still suspect that we may need to add a slider to control the label width just like the one Dolphin has (see D20370), but hopefully this patch should improve the situation for people using the LTS release, and reduce the pressure for yet another user-facing setting.

I tried the patch, but the difference is very little. I also believe that it would be a good idea to allow users to adjust the width of the grid a little more freely.
Plasma 5.16 comes with a setting for this.
Yep, See Bug 403094!
