How do I format the chart that appears when I filter the data

I have a drop down that filters a chart.  The chart displays great when it displays for all projects.  If I pick one of the projects from the filter, it displays the bars much larger.

 

Is there a way to make the bars that displays for only one project appear smaller?  Are there settings, where the area destinated for the chart be resized?

I reviewed all of the options for my chart.  No where did I see where I could resize the chart that displays when I filter or an option to set a Max size for the bars that appear.

 

The initial chart displays as depicted below.  The second image is how it displays after I select a filter.  The bars that display are too large.  The transition between chart 1 and the drilldown is not smooth at all.Initial Chart as Loaded.png

I see that there is a "minimum category width".  I need a "maximum category width" option.  Does this exists?  It would be even better, if I could control the length of the entire chart.
