Is there a reason for not just using a different left and/or right indent for the range of interest? That's generally much easier than changing the margins.
Try it!

Changing margins adds section breaks, adding much complexity to your document. Indents are paragraph-level formatting while margins are section-level formatting. Margins and Indents in Word

In the screenshot below, the blue arrows indicate the margins. The red arrows, the indents. Indents can be inside margins or outside them.

This can be set in a style and easily applied consistently.
