Edit -- you are trying to get layers next to each other, rather than on top, as I was first thinking. Still, you want a 1.5x+ wider-than-nozzle extrusion width for good control. Your slicer needs to account for the wider extrusion width so it can place the squished filament further away.

Are you sure you want 7 x 0.4mm round filaments all in a row? Why not 5 x 0.93mm flattened-together filaments?

I use Slic3r, and don't see a way to increase the width without feeding more filament. Is here such setting?
The extrusion width setting seems to tie both the offset distance and the amount of filament (thickness).

This is just a test. I noticed the problem with fewer perimeters. So I just upped it to make sure the problem shows.
