According to the calculation methods shown in the help file and User Guide, the spread and depth is calculated using basic geometry.
It uses a modified Mannings equation to calculated the depth of flow in the gutter, thereby determining the gutter spread.
Typically, your worst spread will occur at your inlets, and the narrowest spread at the top of the watershed or just after an inlet. I don't think you can arbitrarily calcuate the spread between two inlets unless you use the Hydraflow Express tools and manually calculate your expected spread with an estimated flow.
