The sample codes:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nicematrix}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\begin{NiceTabular*}{\textwidth}{XX}[hvlines]
    X & X \\
\end{NiceTabular*}
\end{document}

The output: enter image description here

I replace {XX} by {CC}, and the output:

  • When I compile your MWE, I get this error message: ./nm.tex:6: Fatal Package nicematrix Error: The column type 'X' in your environ ment (nicematrix) {NiceTabular*} is unknown. (nicematrix) This error is fatal. So the error is not the definition of the width of the table, but the wrong indication of the position of the content. – C. Peters Jul 29 '21 at 08:05
  • I tested again. I didn't get the column type 'X' error message, but some overfull \hbox messages. The nicematrix version is 5.19. – Changlin Ai Jul 29 '21 at 08:20
  • And what does happen if you replace {XX} for example by {cc}? – C. Peters Jul 29 '21 at 08:23
  • I added the output with replace {XX} by {CC} in the question. – Changlin Ai Jul 29 '21 at 08:31
  • The TS-program I used is XeLaTeX. – Changlin Ai Jul 29 '21 at 08:34

{NiceTabular*} is not equivalent to {tabularx} (of the eponymous package) but to the standard {tabular*} (certainly less efficient). So, there is no X column in {NiceTabular*}.

\documentclass{article}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\usepackage{nicematrix}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}


\lipsum[1]


\begin{NiceTabular}{\linewidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}}ccccc}
one & two & three & four & five \
six & seven & eight & nine & ten \
eleven & twelve & thirteen & fourteen & fifteen
\end{NiceTabular}


\end{document}

Output of the above code

The latest version of nicematrix (6.0 of 2021-08-10) provides an environment {NiceTabularX} similar to the classical environment {tabularx} of the package tabularx.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nicematrix}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\begin{NiceTabularX}{\textwidth}{XX}[hvlines]
    X & X \\
\end{NiceTabularX}
\end{document}

Output of the above code
