the buffer size available and limit the output based on both the

Yup.
My issue is straightforward and doesn't require any user-visible
changes, but I am thinking your issue might. I am wondering if
you've thought about how you'd make this work; maybe a format escape
that says, "Don't count these characters against the width total?"
Or something else?
I was thinking of looking for ANSI sequences and not counting
them. But I don't know if that could get into trouble with
multibyte characters. mbtowc() is too much of a mystery to me.
That format escape would avoid the issue.
