No way to know if a wider patch would have helped you in the case, but in general you ride (almost literally) a razor's edge.

Also, your bike must ride like a ton of bricks.
I was going to suggest the same thing. Much lower pressure, certainly no higher than 80 front/90 rear assuming 23 mm tires. Maybe even less.
