Dan - Thank you for your comment. I looked at this section in the help document and yes it will format items all at once. I worked with this, however, this will turn off and on legend items and size the patch to a width and height etc.
What I am hoping to find is something in the fitting strategy that will allow the legend items to expand to fit the entire legend. Currently they will expand to a point and then stop. Below is a series of screen shots showing the increase until they don't. I could manually configure each layer size for now, but it would be a time saver if I don't have to do this every time.
