No, and I don't know any players who would agree with you. Nut width and neck profile are not adjustable in any real sense.

I have arthritis, 1-11/16" nuts cramp my fingers, 1-3/4" nuts seem to be my sweet spot, 1-7/8" nuts are to wide and cause wrist pain.

String spacing to me is fine tuning, if a nut is too thin or wide, or neck profile too meaty or thin, you already have a problem before you even get to playing the first notes.
