I would say yes, ride farther into the lane to avoid being buzzed. If you leave room to squeeze in, people will try to take it. If you don't leave room, they have to move left to pass you, like they would any other slower vehicle.
Try it and see if it helps. But choose your battles; if the conditions are too dangerous, find another route.
