I don't know if changing the areas of coverage will help, as what you are suggesting is increasing the area the T covers, while decreasing the area the L covers.
As Bob suggested, in NCAA-W, the new terminology is "pinching the paint" as L. For example, on a drive from C's area, it is still C's call all the way to the basket, but the L now steps into the area under the basket to help with that call. For years we've been taught the paint area is "quicksand", but now they want us in there to get closer to plays, and to have better angles. Maybe this is something you might want to consider doing as L on the plays where coming all the way across to ball-side might not be the best idea.
But one thing won't change - in 2-person you have to move more to get those same angles you get used to in 3-person.
