Have you tried something like:

\makepagestyle{foobar}
\setlength{\headwidth}{\textwidth}
\addtolength{\headwidth}{##bp}
\makerunningwidth{foobar}{\headwidth}

(where foobar is the name of the pagestyle you want to change and  
##bp is the amount you want to change it by)

Search for makerunningwidth in the memoir manual for the details.
