Sheepishly answering my own question:
Note to self: 150 + 250 = 400 and not 350!!!!!!
However to also fully answer my own question:
With
this.c1Combo1.Splits[0].SplitSizeMode = C1.Win.C1List.SizeModeEnum.Exact;
For a C1Combo with a perfectly sized dropdown list, if the sum of '.Widths’ of the visible 'this.c1Combo1.Splits[0].DisplayColumns’ equals 'intDisplayColumnsWidthTotal’ then set 'this.c1Combo1.Splits[0].SplitSize’ and 'this.c1Combo1.DropDownWidth’ to:
intDisplayColumnsWidthTotal + 3 + (x – 1);
Where x equals the number of visible columns.
If 'this.c1Combo1.ListCount’ > 'this.c1Combo1.MaxDropDownItems’ add a further 17 to 'this.c1Combo1.DropDownWidth’.
