I suppose that could work. The spacer nut holding the roller brake on is approx 1 cm wide. There would be some wheel dish though and it would be leaving the NDS bearing more exposed than it is really supposed to be,
But in that case, you could use a 7 speed hub.
I'm just checking OLD bits for the various hubs here.
shimano nexus inter 3 without roller brake 3 speed = 120mm
shimano nexus inter 7 without roller brake 7 speed = 127mm.
I have just checked drop outs on frame its 120mm, was worried it was 110mm as old frame.
so is a 7 speed possible?

OK just measured it.
The black dustcap is held on by an approx 1cm wide nut. Underneath that is the silver locknut. OLN not including the dustcap nut is 121mm.
Coldsetting Nexus is IMHO a bad idea. You would be better removing one of the spacer nuts (providing rear stay clearance is not an issue)
Axles are very sensitive to uneven loads, which is why Shimano use their special non-turn washers. Most common cause of premature Nexus gear failure is badly-aligned dropouts on poorly manufactured frames which cause axle to deform over time.
