Yes, setting a fixed column width in Lyx should do the trick. Here you can find additional infos if you want to define the column width relative to the page width: <http://lyx.475766.n2.nabble.com/why-are-the-table-too-wide-td480746.html> One additional hint: Since the columns of the table have margins, the total width of the table is not equal to the sum of the fixed column widths. I found out that a table with one column and a fixed column width of "100% text width" has not the same width as a table with ten columns and a fixed column width of "10% text width". I don't know what the size of this margin actually is and where to set it and if my experience is correct. Hope that helps.
