It depends on where you are and soil conditions. Here in NH and most of the Northeast, if we lay it out wide we get a lot of wet bunches that don't dry down. Here is why. When you set it to spread out wide, next pass around you are driving on the fresh cut grass. If the ground is good and dry this is not a problem, but if the ground is moist, your tire ribs are going to press into the soil, pressing some green grass in with them. The tedder will pull some of this out, but some stays there until raking or baling. When raking you can stop which I often do, and pick up these bunches and lay them out on top, but it is much easier to mow it narrow, give the ground a little time to dry in the sun then ted it out, greatly reducing the number of wet bunches and improving the quality of the hay. Everyone making hay around here does it this way.
