Do not the regs state maximum allowable bandwidth?

No!

From part 97 regs:

§97.307 Emission standards.
(a) No amateur station transmission shall occupy more bandwidth than
necessary for the information rate and emission type being transmitted, in
accordance with good amateur practice.

(b) Emissions resulting from modulation must be confined to the band or
segment available to the control operator. Emissions outside the necessary
bandwidth must not cause splatter or keyclick interference to operations on
adjacent frequencies.

(f-2)
The total bandwidth of an independent sideband emission shall not exceed
that of a communications quality A3E emission.

The key concepts here are "in accordance with good amateur practice", "no..
more bandwidth than necessary" , for "a communications quality A3E
emission", "must not cause splatter...on adjacent frequencies".
