Control panel interface through python

I have created a small panel that works as a timecode <> frames calculator. You give it TC it gives frames, you give it frames it gives TC.
Boringly simple. To spice it up I added a Go to frame button. Works like a charm, now I have some time to make it better (check if tc is "legal", allow for punching tc without ":").
One thing that bothers me is, how can I control the "look" part of the damn panel. I would like to control the lenght of the String_Knob that I use for tc input so it is not the lenght of the panel, reposition the button, that sits next to the frame input so it goes underneath it.
Maybe adding a small divider line?

Hope this is clear enough.
