Code point 160 followed by 32. In other words ` ` will do it.

There's: U+3000, ideographic space. It's conceptually fitting, with sentence separation being a good fit for "idea separation".
edit: well I tried to give an example, but hn seems to replace it with regular space. Here's a copy paste version: https://unicode-explorer.com/c/3000
Belying the name somewhat, I believe U+3000 is specifically meant for use with Sinoform logographs, having the size of a (fullwidth character) cell, and so it makes little sense in other contexts.
The extended horizontal size is the only goal here. The dimensions for a sinoform is still related to pt size, so the relative spacing, compared to chr(32), at the same pt size, is reasonably larger.
But...the vertical dimensions don't scale so well, at least in my browser. It causes a slight downward shift.
