That would give you 3 rows to your border on each side so you should be able to add all the width you want working with that.
For example, if you cut 4.5" squares or piano keys, and 2.5'' borders for them, you would be adding 8" to each side for a total of 16".
If you don't have enough scraps, you could pick 2 blender or other fabrics that would go with your RxR and make the triple border for it with 9P cornerstones to add interest but not so much busyness as to compete with your main quilt.
This was my thought. Piano keys or squares.
What about turning the quilt the other way and putting the piano keys/squares on the sides to make it wide enough. I just think Rows should be up-side-up on the bed. Adding borders with this to make it wide enough would do the trick.
