You could probably do this with a hook.
This is untested, but something like this may work:
from libqtile import hook, qtile
@hook.subscribe.layout_change
def layout_changed(layout, group):
if layout.name == "max":
# For illustrative purposes, I'm assuming the bar is on the top
qtile.current_screen.top.margin = 0
# To get the new margin, we have to reconfigure the bar
qtile.current_screen.top._configure(qtile, qtile.current_screen)
# Now redraw the layout
group.layout_all()
elif layout.name != "max" and qtile.current_screen.top.margin == 0:
...
NB - this removes the margin, you'd need to add code to reset it for other
layouts.
