Thanks Jürgen,

After reading the web page you listed, I ended up just putting \sloppypar{} at 
the start of all paragraphs with significant monofont. After reading the page 
I felt it might not be right to expose the entire document to 
\emergencystretch 1.5em.

The \sloppypar{} "solution" seemed to work, although obviously it involves 
some level of fine tuning.

Thanks
