Field size for radio buttons for cusotm forms?

We have a custom form in Workfront that has 4 fields in a row, the first two are radio buttons.  Each field has a fairly long label/description. When the form is being viewed by a requestor, the label of each field is cut off. I swear there used to be a 'size' option for radio button fields, but I don't see it in the new form editor.  Other than adding a 'section break' after the first two fields is there any way I can adjust the layout of this section so the entire field label can be read?  

Here's ow the form looks to the user:

And here how it appears in the editor:

user01245, we have a similar situation in some of our forms where we have some long questions with a y/n radio button.  To make things easier and more readable for the users we needed to "stack" these questions, one under the other instead of next to each other as there is not an option on the forms to resize fields.  It made the form a little longer due to needing to scroll the questions but they can read everything and respond appropriately.  Not the best answer but it is what it is.

Thank you! I hadn't realized you could drop individual fields down onto their own line.  In my instance at least it does seem to be a bit inconsistent. I have to move some fields to the end of the section, then move them back up to their own line. This works, but breaks any logic that relied on one field being after another.  So it goes.  

 

Thanks again for the help!
