How to show back-to-back events using full width of calendar cell

In our app, we have many events that occur right after each other. For example, one event starts at 7:00 AM and finishes at 8:00 AM. The next event starts at 8:00 AM and finishes at 9:00 AM. In the Calendar control, the events are displayed using only half the cell width, in a "staggered" (1st event left justified, 2nd event right justified) format.

I assume this is because the events technically overlap (the 1st ends at 8:00 and the 2nd starts at 8:00). If I change the 1st event to finish at 7:59, the events take up the whole width of the cell. However, the 7:59 looks a bit odd.

Is there any way to have the events display all the way across the cell and not have to adjust the end time downward?

Thanks!
