Have also done

(defun vodil-rtgbf-name (width)

  (setq mode-line-buffer-identification
    (list (propertized-buffer-identification
           (format
             (format "%%%ds" (min width (length (buffer-name))))
             (buffer-name) ) )))

  ;; (force-mode-line-update t)
  )

Still buffer names larger than width still get displayed.
