Does the front walk have to be same width as porch?

Our front porch is 7 feet wide. We have a circular drive but it is not centered on the house. The front walk will come off of the 14 foot wide circular drive in an "s" curve to the front porch. There is a brick column on the far right of the front porch. Side entry garage on right.

The concrete men & the contractor are suggesting making the front walk 7 feet wide the whole walkway but it is not what we were envisioning. It looks so wide when they sprayed it out. They are saying it will not look right to make it narrower.

Should it be the whole width of the porch? Would 4 feet wide be okay? Or 5? One concern is that if we don't go to whole width we will have an area of 1.5 feet wide & 2 feet long that would be dirt (between the house and where the front walk starts if we don't do it the whole width but I would just put rocks there probably).

What about tapering the walk?

Help!

TIA

I would attach pics but my computer is not working correctly now.
