Just for completeness, and should anyone search the forum with a
similar problem,the answer lay in the wide margins used by default in
the article class, so new headers are:

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{tikz}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usetikzlibrary{mindmap,trees}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[a4paper, left=3D3cm,right=3D2cm]{geometry}

Plus you can scale the tikz drawing using

\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=3D0.85]

However, it doesn't scale very well and the different elements do not
scale proportionally, so while it works fine for a small tweak, it is
useless for the large changes.
