Hi,
I did it this way:
Add to your "custom.css":
.long .form-group.text-item.other-text-item {width:50%;}
.long input.form-control {width:100%;}
and enter "long" into "css classes" of the question.
Regarding the height:
As this field is a plain <input> field in the database, there is only one line.
You had to change to <textarea> - as e.g. the "long text" question type.
If you expect longer answers you should add a new question of type "long text" and display it by relevance equation, if the "Other" option was checked.
