There is a "tabling" macro that you can use like this:

tabling(columns: 2, x-spacing: 2, y-spacing: 5,
             x-alignment: #[#"right", #"left"])
  make(<label>, label: "Short"),
  make(<text-field>),
  make(<label>, label: "Much longer"),
  make(<text-field>)
end;

Also note that there are "labelling" and a "grouping" convenience
macros too that you can use to ease the implementation of your layouts.
