    Via CSS set:

    .ui-tabs .ui-tabs-nav li {
    width:50%;
}

    Note due to padding, margins, and borders you may need to reduce it to less than 50%.

    Update: If you want to center the text in the tabs, you need to make two CSS changes (keeping the 50% change from above).

    .ui-tabs .ui-tabs-nav li {
    width:50%;
    text-align: center;
}
.ui-tabs .ui-tabs-nav li a {
    display: inline-block;
    float: none;
    padding: 5px;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 100%;
}

    Note that you can tweak the padding as needed.
