  I want a narrower sidebar and more space in the middle of the page. Is this a “premium” feature, or can it be done without any cost?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  No. See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom and CSS editing:

  Thanks for the quick response. I will consider it – also, what is the “widest” current theme (for main content) right now, so that I can compare?

  With CSS, it is quite easy to change the width on Bueno. This would be the CSS to increase the width by 200px (from 940px to 1140px overall). The added width is put into the content column.

  .col-full {
      width: 1140px;
  }
  
  #main {
      width: 820px;
  }

  You would have to create a new header image at 1130px wide by 198px high, upload it to your media library, get the URL of that image and then replace URL_OF_IMAGE between the quotes with the URL of that image in the code below.

  #header-image {
  background: url("URL_OF_IMAGE") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
  height: 198px;
  }
  
  #header-image img {
  display: none;
  }

  It is just as easy to narrow things as well.
