    The left sidebar is usually small in width as compared to the one in right.

    I used firebug and found the following additions/alterations in the main theme's stylesheet. This is not pixel perfect, but would get you near to want you want.

    NOTE: Please do backup the stylesheet first, before changing anything. (Simply copy-paste the orginal code/css and save it somewhere on your machine).

    .content-sidebar-sidebar #content-sidebar-wrap, .sidebar-content-sidebar #content-sidebar-wrap, .sidebar-sidebar-content #content-sidebar-wrap {
    width: 80%;
    }
    
    .content-sidebar-sidebar #content, .sidebar-content-sidebar #content, .sidebar-sidebar-content #content {
    width: 74%;
    }
    
    .content-sidebar-sidebar .sidebar, .sidebar-content-sidebar .sidebar, .sidebar-sidebar-content .sidebar {
    width: 24%;
    }
    
    #sidebar-alt {
    width: 19%;
    }
    

    I make WordPress websites using Genesis Framework.
