Is it worth re-dishing a rear wheel that is 3 or 4mm right of centre or just leave it alone?

I'd say it's always worth doing if it is out by that much. You will probably not notice it that much if you were to ride that wheel (unless clearance is really tight and you run larger volume tyres than would be usual for the frame potentially resulting in chainstay rub, especially in bad weather, though this would be an extreme case to consider) but for the sake of building a good wheel following basic wheel building principles it should be centred, IMO.
