Do you put fertilizer down ahead of planting the potatoes? Maybe you could use that one row planter to band fertilizer and rig up something to open a furrow for the seed potatoes. As far as width if you drive in the wheel tracks your row spacing will be whatever the center to center width is of your tires. I would try to gear the row width for potatoes to match up well with whatever you use for cultivating and hilling.

I kept a fairly wide row spacing as I either plowed the potatoes out with a middle buster or dug them with a one row ground drive digger. (Both pulled by a Ford!)
