To clarify, it's the trackwidth that's the challenge, not the wheelbase. As mentioned, adding additional wheels easily solves the challenges with the wheelbase when you're travelling perpendicular to the scoring platform. However, if you're travelling down the length of the platform (or at more extreme angles towards the platform), the width between your wheels may cause your robot to bottom out if you don't have enough ground clearance.
