For the record in case anyone else hits this.... The backup recovery area being increased to 20GBs was still only just enough to keep it semi-stable... The reason it go so upset and grew so much was that the RMAN configuration was holding data for a few days before obsoleting it and as a consequence ran out of allocated space. Altered the configuration to mark obsolete after a day using RMAN TARGET / and backups have been clean since then.
