tt_content.image... is for FE-rendering
as far as I have understand you want the default-value for the field in 
the record to be 350. that can be realized by setting something like

TCAdefault.tt_content.imagewidth = 350
in general:
TCAdefault.<tablename>.<fieldname> = <defaultvalue>

in the page- (or user-) TSconfig.
so each record gets this value on creation for this field, but the 
editor can change it.
(so no old record gets changed, even if the field was left empty)
