There seems no obvious way to change the padding.
You may use *set_rgrids* method which takes rpad parameter but you
need to specify the tick locations also.
Here is a simple function taken from set_rgrids method, that only
change the padding.
def update_rpads(ax, rpad):
angle = ax._r_label1_position.to_values()[4]
rmax = ax.get_rmax()
ax._r_label1_position.clear().translate(angle, rpad * rmax)
ax._r_label2_position.clear().translate(angle, -rpad * rmax)
update_rpads(ax, rpad=0.05)
