or increasing the distance between the two? Something else?

Meaning of 間合いを外す
It would mean "to increase the distance" to use your own words.

「[間合]{まあ}いを[外]{はず}す」 means "to sidestep", "to dodge", etc. in the one-on-one
type of sports and martial arts.

Your exact context is unknown, but the phrase could not possibly mean the
opposite.
