Rearset adapter plates do exactly that.
Originally meant for race bikes, the adapter plates move the pegs up and back. Ideally used in conjunction with clip-ons, but not truly necessary. You need to extend the shift rod for obvious reasons (parts included with the plates).
I had some on my newgen and was able to put my legs straight down.
Don't know if they'll fit a pregen or not, or if there are specific parts available for your bike. But as you can see, they're pretty simple... just a pair of aluminum plates. Easy enough to make if you're moderately skilled, or a piece of cake for a machine shop.
Or, you can just buy some actual rearsets. More expensive, though.
Ergonomically, they put the rider's feet a bit higher up (not a problem for your diminutive wife, most likely) and the knees are more bent.
