Not a silly question at all. I am not positive, but I believe "nut width" refers to the base of the nut from outside-to-outside -- nothing to do with string placement. I.e., the width of the neck. Slide a flat ruler under the strings of the first fret, and read from from the two outside edges of the nut.
