Not super-easy, but yes, it's possible with a few Elisp lines:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-hook
 'TeX-error-overview-mode-hook
 (lambda ()
   (setq tabulated-list-format [("File" 25 nil)
                ("Line" 5 nil :right-align t)
                ("Type" 7 nil)
                ("Message" 0 nil)]
     tabulated-list-padding 1
     tabulated-list-entries TeX-error-overview-list-entries)
   (tabulated-list-init-header)
   (tabulated-list-print)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You can set the width of each column by adjusting the number after the
column name.
