the river ganges basin is 200-400 miles wide

Depends on the river. Large rivers can be miles wide at the mouth.
Heavy rains swell the Indus River during the monsoon season from June to September. Because this happens soon after the winter snows melt, floods can occur at this time of year. For a long distance, the river is a wide channel of cloudy water twisting through a dry landscape. Before it pours into the Arabian Sea, the Indus creates a wide delta of swamps, streams, and extensive mangroves.
Because 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet, Antarctica's not known for its rivers. All rivers on the continent are seasonal, melt-water rivers. All are closed-basin rivers that do not empty into the sea. This means that some of the wide glaciers produce melt-water, but not in quantities that would qualify as rivers. Melt-water rivers that a human could wade across are about as wide as the human could toss a stone across.
It actually depends on the river. Length it can be long or short. Width can be very narrow or it can be wide. It really depends on the river. Rivers are usually long and wide. Like a few feet wide.

The Yellow River is also known as the Huang He, and it is in Asia. Its basin level covers 290,349 square miles and it is approximately 30 miles wide at some points.
The Murray-Darling Basin covers 1 061 469 square kilometres, which is about 14% of the Australian continent. Note that the Murray River and Darling River are two separate and distinct rivers. Contrary to popular belief, the Murray-Darling basin is not fed by a single river, but by two major rivers, the Murray and the Darling, and numerous tributaries. The total length of the rivers and their tributaries, according to Geoscience Australia, is 6695km, just over half the length of the Nile River.
The width of the Congo, as with all rivers, varies.
A wide river valley is called a vale. In Scotland, a wide and flat river valley is also called a strath.
