Hi,
There are currently no responsive controls for margins and paddings (although there is a responsive setting for “spacing” itself).
We do have an alternative, though. In Settings > Better Block Editor, you can enable the Design System. There, you’ll get a set of automatically responsive spacings (via calc()). You can leave colors and fonts disabled if you don’t need them. For our projects, it has proven to be enough.
That said, I can easily see how dedicated responsive margin and padding controls would be beneficial. So we’ll be discussing adding those asap with the dev team.

Thanks. Fluid spacing is powerful when used cleverly, but it can’t handle every layout requirement. Plus, managing countless fluid variations can also become overwhelming for content editors.
Just a quick follow-up. We have discussed it internally and our art director expressed the same concerns as you did. So we will be implementing responsiveness for margins and paddings in one of closest upcoming updates.
Another update. We have scheduled responsive paddings, margins and min-height to v.1.5.0. It will be release after the WP 7.0 drops.
