But this might cause an equation on the right column to overlap with the text
on the left column.

One thing that might help you is to put the lines below in the preamble.
It will decrease the space between the 3 column of an eqnarray in all
the eqnarrays in the document (and therefore, it will reduce (or eliminate)
the overlap between the formula and the number).

\let\oldeqnarray=\eqnarray
\let\oldarray=\array
\newlength{\oldcolsep}
\setlength{\oldcolsep}{\arraycolsep}

\def\eqnarray{
  \setlength{\arraycolsep}{1.5pt}
  \def\array{\setlength{\arraycolsep}{\oldcolsep}\oldarray}
  \oldeqnarray
}
