Change margins for tcolorbox with varwidth environment

In the code posted below, I am using varwidth to shrink my tcolorbox to the text width for short text lines. However, I also have some wraparound text lines and the tcolorbox is too big in that case. How can I retain the shrink-to-fit behavior on short text snippets while changing the maximum margins of the tcolorbox? I would like the maximum margins of the gray area to be slightly less than the regular paragraph margins on both sides, but I also want to keep is shrinking to fit when the text length is smaller than that.
