Yes, and mpl works fine with manually specified bins.
On the other hand, I don't see why you want to change the widths of
the bar. As far as I can see, that is not the correct representation
of the data.

Anyhow, here is a little example that makes your bars in equal width.
I never used "fixed width" bar so I'm not sure if this is what you
want.

aa = np.random.rand(100)
bins = np.array([0., 0.2, 0.3, 0.8, 1.])
p = hist(aa, bins)

rects = p[2]
for r in rects:
    r.set_width(0.1)
