I think that the full HTML tag where you define a slot is replaced by the 
fill-slot tag... which explains that you loose your width=10%.

You have to find a work around. I mean fill-slot is exactly what it means: 
' filling something'. This implies that you can customize the container 
through the master macro but not the content.

Hope this help and I am not wrong.
