In AR only whole numbers can be entered into any editable number field, not just for tool widths.
However though, apparent line width can vary depending on your painting’s settings.
Example:
Painting A; 1000x1000 px @72ppi = a print size of 35.28cm
Painting B; 4167x4167px @300ppi = a print size of 35.28cm
A single 500% line made with the Pastel tool in painting A will fill nearly 1/3+/- of the canvas. But a 500% Pastel line on painting B will only fill around 1/12+/- of the canvas.
Likewise at the other end of the scale in the examples above, in painting A there is a noticeable difference between a 1% line and a 2% line. While in painting B the difference between a 1% and a 2% line is practically imperceptible.

Thanks both of you for your replies, very clear!

To prevent misunderstanding: You should not paint images that are meant to be printed with a relative resolution of 72 pixels per inch. 72 ppi are to less pixels for an Inch, so that the pixels will be too big and the quality of the print will be too bad. The standard for printing is 300 ppi. For posters it can be reduced, because posters will be viewed from a wider distance, so that posters can be printed with bigger raster-dots (= a lower resolution), but you shouldn't undercut 180 ppi.
72 ppi is a resolution just for images that are meant to be shown on monitors.
