Assumptions for all aircraft:

Armrests = 2in and are counted even on the sides (e.g. aisles or window also count)
Distance between window seat and cabin side wall = 1.5in

So for 77W in 10-abreast, cabin width = 231in, take away two side walls, two aisles and 13 armrests = 170, divide by 10 to get 17.0in

Remaining calculations



I don't think anyone actually has a 19.5" A350, 19.11" 77W@9 or 18.4" A330 seat width, because the aisles will be wider for everyones' convenience.

But that's the whole point of my exercise - start with cabin width and cabin width alone, and assume everything else is the same across different aircraft. Finally an apples vs apples comparison.
