Notice how the cloud goes from a tight trail to a huge, diffuse, volume?
I believe thats the air density diminishing as the missile gains altitude. Down low the exhaust is confined by atmospheric pressure. Higher up the exhaust is not limited, and expands much more.

Yeah, when they go to even higher altitudes you'll see a glow on the exhaust as it turns into a plasma.
