Many thanks! My mate co-pilot said
If the admin is using “responsive ads”
Google will choose the size based on the container width.
If the container is too wide, Google will serve a large ad.
If the container is narrower, Google will serve a smaller one.
In that case, the admin can make the container narrower with
CSS, and Google will adapt.
but of course it could be (frequently is) lying!

It's not the width that needs tweaking so much as the height.
If it was half the height it would be fine.

My attempts changed failed.

Yeah, AdSense's script overrides your styles with !important to
prevent clipping. You can't fight it without violating their
policies.

Google does have a 320x50 ad which is the mobile leaderboard.

The issue is google says non responsive ad units don't have
enough ads to display so earnings less.

It looks good, that's precisely what I wanted. As I say I'm not
opposed to the idea of ads, it's just keeping them
proportionate. So, if you could just deal with the other two
(that come when your looking at the posts within a thread) that
would be magnifico!
One observation now I had time to play with it, is it's not
reactive as the width gets smaller. This is more obvious on a
mobile phone where the ads appear choppped, but maybe google
likes them that way.

Some google ads use the flex property which makes them
scrollable within a fixed container.
