I can't see how making the frame wider will have any effect at all on the travel of the derailleur.
It's not the spacing I'm talking about but the tracking. At the moment the wheel is sitting too far towards the non drive side of the frame. My thinking before was that if I could sort the tracking out so the wheel was perfectly central in the frame then the RD would be able to reach further across.... but of course the RD would have moved as well so would presumably have the same limited reach....?
I should sort the track out anyway, just so it rides better... but I think you're right - I can't see that it will make any difference to the RD problem.
I haven't had time to try anything this week but will update as and when.... can't believe people are actually interested in this! Thanks @Dogtemple & @DHD

Before you do that, I would check that the derailleur has the 40mm odd of movement you need.
You may get away with shimming it.
It's probably/more likely just a matter of setting it up right.
