For the TOC paragraph tags:
Specify a value such as 200% for Minimum Word Spacing (Pgf Designer,
Advanced tab); make it higher or lower to adjust the "wrap region" as needed.
In the TOC reference page, TOC flow:
Specify an additional tab between <$paratext> and <$pagenum>, eg
<$paratext>\t\t<$pagenum>
(note: I prefer using \t instead of the Tab character as it is always
visible; the tab itself is used on the body page and may not be
interpreted properly in the Ref page anyway because of the different
column width)
