No easy way, AFAIK. You may probably hook into
`window-size-change-functions' to calculate margins dynamically. See
`olivetti-mode' for an example how to use this hook.

AFAIK, window margins are set for the whole window. They are fixed. The
best you can do it creating artificial margins by setting paragraph
line-prefix/wrap-prefix property + https://codeberg.org/joostkremers/visual-fill-column
