copen 50
and make it taller. How can i make a vertical pane wider?

In the Vim vocabulary what you call a "pane" is actually a "window" and the window you want to resize has nothing particular so :h window-resize should give you all you need, especially:
*CTRL-W_>*
CTRL-W > Increase current window width by N (default 1).
So ctrl+w> will increase the window size once and 10ctrl+w> will do the same thing 10 times.
If you need to change the size in a script you want to read :h :wincmd which allows you do to the same thing as the ctrl+w normal commands.
Also :copen probably doesn't do what you think: it opens a window containing the quickfix list. If you want to open a vertical split you probably want :split or ctrl+ws
