FOV trainer/patcher/Hex-edit will work only with pc_matador.exe from widescreen hack.

FOV trainer - El_Matador_FOV_trainer.7z

FOV patcher - El_Matador_FOV_Patch.7z
 •Copy patcher in the game folder
 •Run patcher and apply patch to pc_matador.exe

You can manually patch bytes in pc_matador.exe using the Hex-editor, replace the following bytes:

E1 2E E5 42 00 00 80 3F => E1 2E E5 42 CD CC 8C 3F for FOV +10%
E1 2E E5 42 00 00 80 3F => E1 2E E5 42 9A 99 99 3F for FOV +20%
E1 2E E5 42 00 00 80 3F => E1 2E E5 42 66 66 A6 3F for FOV +30%

Old info:
First, a big thanks to Gizmo for providing lots of screenshots. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to figure out how the widescreen works.

About the game, this may be the only game where 4:3 has the wrong aspect ratio. I've looked at three widescreen shots, a 1280x720, 1280x768, and 1280x800, and the geometry visible in all three had the same proportions. However, a fourth screenshot at 1024x768 had different proportions from the widescreen shots. This either meant widescreen mode is stretched vertically, or 4:3 mode is stretched horizontally (I assumed the former at first, but later pondered the possibility of the latter).

So I asked for some more screenshots, a 1024x768, a 1280x1024, and a 1280x800. The 1280x1024 had the same proportions as the 1280x800, but the 1024x768 was a horizontally stretched version of the 1280x1024. This confirmed it: 5:4 is the correct aspect ratio for non-widescreen, and 4:3 resolutions just use a stretched version of that.

Comparing the first two screenshots, you can see that the widescreen shot loses some V-FOV and gains some H-FOV. Here's a crossover image with 5:4 ontop of 16:10. Details above and below the red lines represent vertical FOV lost, details left and right of the yellow lines represent horizontal FOV gained. A lot more V-FOV is lost than H-FOV gained. Therefore, this game is graded as if it is vert -, and gets a C+.
