Almost all my stories are on the very right side, with one or two on the very left, and not much in the middle. You should either use percentile score to determine the location (so the median scoring story is right in the center) or apply some sort of transformation to the score (log is probably reasonable, I'm guessing scores tend to be approximately log-normally distributed).
I didn't look into an even distribution. I only allotted the golden ratio part of the content width to the maximum sum of points and comments on a given page.
