You need to know the maximum width of fractional part of all numbers.

A general technique is the following:
1) Take a digit width from a font metrics. This width is the same for
all digits in the most of fonts.
Note: 0.6 em is a good approximation for any font.
2) Calculate the maximum width: max(number of digits * font-size) *
the digit width

I've just sent you an XSL-FO example with more detailed explanations.
