There's no single parameter. In 1.53.0, the running headers
and footers are created as tables, and the table column
widths are specified as percentages.  You could create a
stylesheet customization layer and customize the templates
named 'header.table' and 'footer.table' to change the units
from percentages to a calculated value.  Those templates
are in fo/pagesetup.xsl.
