The movements that do not require extra coverage are back swing and tilt. Any movements on the front and shift and rise and fall on the back require a lens with excess coverage.
If you have a lens with a limited image circle any scheimpflug adjustments may have to happen in the back with the resulting shanges in the image (see the upcoming article in View Camera - March/April 04) or any basic intro book to view camera photography.

Center tilts.

Any tilt movement on the front moves the image circle away from the center of the film area and requires a lens with excess coverage. Swing on the front does the same as does shift and rise ands fall front and rear. The only movements thast do not require a lens with extra coverage are the rear swing and tilt.

I have and use a 65/5.6 SA multicoated on a 6 x 9 cm Ebony. I am very happy with it used for that format. But I doubt I would be happy with it for 4 x 5 because of limited coverage. Even without using movements the fall-off within the 4 x 5 frame would be apparent (I am assuming you do not have the center filter which is quite expensive).
