Your question made me to test an available call in latest Qt console

 pqConsole:console_settings([tabStopWidth(W)])


that works on tab *characters* (i.e.

format('~w\t...~n', [...])


It changes tab size on entire output.

I'm afraid that will require a patch to current git hosted code, due to
inter-threading calls issue.
