Set the width and gap to some small value (and adjust total text frame width accordingly), and maybe put the tiny side head on the right so it doesn't affect the left alignment of headings that straddle the side head.

Re: Combining side-heads and full-span paras in the same document
Hi, Steve: If I understand your request correctly, method c would be to use paragraph formats set to Across All Columns and Side Heads for your full-span paragraphs, with a flow that enables side head space.
