Math & Science ⇒ \labelsep and \labelwidth

[ghostanime2001]

Do numerical lengths and list parameters belong after \labelsep and/or \labelwidth command? Can it take other latex commands? If so, what are such commands?

[localghost]

Both \labelsep and \labelwidth are length registers. You can only assign valid length values to these registers, which is done by the \setlength command. Thus they can't contain macros. This is documented in every basic LaTeX documentation.
