/bin/date (aka busybox) on openelec on the Raspberry Pi provides this
helpful info:

,--
| Recognized TIME formats:
|        hh:mm[:ss]
|        [YYYY.]MM.DD-hh:mm[:ss]
|        YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm[:ss]
|        [[[[[YY]YY]MM]DD]hh]mm[.ss]
|        'date TIME' form accepts MMDDhhmm[[YY]YY][.ss] instead
'--

I don't know how to do relative offsets directly, but GNU date 8.13
accepts times like

date -d "7 minutes ago"

so if you invoke date in such a way that it makes one of the accepted
formats, then do

date -s $(date +format "7 minutes ago")

that might work.
