Sadly, the ST-E2's small flash tube, masked by an infrared filter, has less range than the 550EX, which sends data signals using its main flash tube.Arrr - sorry. Should read more carefully. If you're asking about the *angle* of coverage, not the distance, it's supposed to be about 40 degrees in horizontal range and 30 in vertical for the ST-E2. The 550EX, with its flip-down wide-angle adapter, covers the angle of a 17mm lens, which is, uh... about 100 degrees?
In any case I think you should stick with your 550EX and put it on an off-camera shoe cable (OCSC) and tripod, angle the 550EX flash body towards the slave and angle the 550EX flash head to the subject or wherever.
