My theory........if it feels comfortable to you its probably right for you. Only you can tell what works. I have a similar predicament and will probably use some "kneesavers" to get a wider Q and keep the bottom bracket width that gives me the best chainline for my terrain. I think the Riv site gives some recommendations for bottom bracket width usually its either 110 to 113mm. I use a 107 on my non Riv frame that is similar to an Atlantis.
