If you want to achieve this:
Do this:
Add an image block and an image;
Click on “Properties”;
Click on “Advanced formatting” on the right;

You can stretch the image in the header or footer the same way:
Double-click in the header/footer area;
Drag and drop the image block;
Access advanced formatting through properties;
Adjust left and right margins.
Alternatively, you can use the Cover page to easily stretch the image to the page width:
