Worked out how to use the API to target different Spaces from this post:

> Hi, Is it possible to use the [Saved Objects API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.6/saved-objects-api.html) to create a new index-pattern for a specific Space? It's not explained in the above documentation and i couldn't make it work after trying various syntax. Kibana version 6.5.4 Thanks,

Looks like my issue will be fixed by recreating the index patterns in each space with new IDs and relinking the visualisations to the new index-pattern.

A bit of work but should sort everything out.
