  Anyons are particles intermediate between fermions and bosons, characterized
by a nontrivial exchange phase, yielding remarkable braiding statistics. Recent
experiments have shown that anyonic braiding has observable consequences on
edge transport in the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE). Here, we study
transport signatures of anyonic braiding when the anyons have a finite width.
We show that the width of the anyons, even extremely small, can have a
tremendous impact on transport properties and braiding signatures. In
particular, we find that taking the finite width into account allows us to
explain recent experimental results on FQHE at filling factor $2/5$ [Ruelle et
al., Phys. Rev. X \textbf{13}, 011031 (2023)]. Our work shows that the finite
width of anyons crucially influences setups involving anyonic braiding,
especially when the exchange phase is larger than $\pi/2$.
