For a single screen or a screen setup with a constant width you could determine
the width of the screen and calculate the percentage:
withWindowSet $ return . rect_width . screenRect . W.screenDetail . W.current
should give you the screen width as a X Dimension.
This can't handle non-constant screen width(e.g. xinerama setups) though.
(Implementing such behaviour as a layout modifier should work.)
