siunitx: how to get bold, aligned and separated in a table?

Question

I have the following siunitxtable:

\sisetup{separate-uncertainty=true}
\begin{tabular}{
l
S[table-format=6.0, table-figures-uncertainty=5]
S[table-format=6.0, table-figures-uncertainty=5, detect-weight]
S[table-format=2.0]
S[table-format=1.2, detect-weight]
}
\toprule
{algorithm} & {$1$-ply} & {$3$-ply} & {\# $n$-tuples} & {time [days]}\\
\midrule
42-33 (baseline) & 265435\pm8511  & 393289\pm26496 & 5  & 2.35 \\
42-33, CS        & 258616\pm5784  & 432701\pm13005 & 5  & 2.78 \\
42-33-4-22, CS   & 263156\pm27722 & 464836\pm15941 & 10 & \bfseries 4.63 \\
42-33-4-22-3     & 319433\pm2708  & 469779\pm10920 & 12 & 5.06 \\
42-33-4-22-3, CS & 314013\pm7587  & 491398\pm19458 & 12 & 5.47 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}

I was able to make 4.63 bold and aligned, but I would like to make some cells of the second or third column bold and aligned as well. \bfseries does not work for them. How to do it?

You have to \robustify the \bfseries command as described here. Then it works for any S column.

\documentclass[border=2mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{siunitx}
    \sisetup{separate-uncertainty=true}
\begin{document}
        \robustify\bfseries
    \begin{tabular}{
                    l
                    S[table-format=6.0,table-figures-uncertainty=5]
                    S[table-format=6.0,table-figures-uncertainty=5, detect-weight]
                    S[table-format=2.0]
                    S[table-format=1.2,detect-weight]
                   }
            \toprule
        {algorithm} & {$1$-ply} & {$3$-ply} & {\# $n$-tuples} & {time [days]}\\
            \midrule
        42-33 (baseline) & 265435(8511)  & 393289(26496)           & 5  & 2.35           \\
        42-33, CS        & 258616(5784)  & \bfseries 432701(13005) & 5  & 2.78           \\
        42-33-4-22, CS   & 263156(27722) & 464836(15941)           & 10 & \bfseries 4.63 \\
        42-33-4-22-3     & 319433(2708)  & 469779(10920)           & 12 & 5.06           \\
        42-33-4-22-3, CS & 314013(7587)  & 491398(19458)           & 12 & 5.47           \\
            \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
\end{document}

There probably is no way to make the bolded number the same width as the regular ones? (this I meant by "aligned", actually) — cauchy, Mar 26 '16 at 06:14
You can do it (manually) by putting the text in a "box" and then resize it (have a look at that question), but that would mean to either change the font size or you will squeeze the font which will most probably not look very well ... — Stefan Pinnow, Mar 26 '16 at 06:27
