It will change the position of your bust point. That will affect the darts on your sloper, any garment with darts, and on princess designs.

Increasing the span will shorten the side dart. It should not affect the width at the side seam. With a shorter dart, the angle will be greater.

I always shorten my darts anyway with the bust offset. The shorter darts look better on me.

You waist darts should remain the same width but they will move out. The center waist dart (if you are using 2 darts) will always point to the bust apex. The outer dart will point directly under the point of the side dart.
