You could post-process the file with Inkscape. You might need two
passes, one to query the size of the drawn area (--query-x, --query-y,
--query-width, --query-height), and after manipulating the returned
values, another pass to export the correct area (-a).

I'm assuming you want this done automatically, rather than cropping
your oversized version of the output manually in Inkscape or whatever.
