Image widths are defined in pixels. Use PHPWord_Shared_Font::centimeterSizeToPixels() to set your image width in centimeters.

// Image with 2 cm width
$imageStyle = array('width' => PHPWord_Shared_Font::centimeterSizeToPixels(2));
$section->addImage('MyImage.jpg', $imageStyle);

Cell widths are defined in twips. Use PHPWord_Shared_Font::centimeterSizeToTwips() to set your cell width in centimeters.

$table = $section->addTable();
$table->addRow();
$table->addCell(PHPWord_Shared_Font::centimeterSizeToTwips(1.5)); // Cell with 1.5 cm width
