I have to think this through some more because I could end up buying a longer bellows that doesn't allow the camera to close, and only gives me a little bit more extension.
The other option is I might just buy the longest non-telephoto lens I can use with the standard bellows and rails. I'm thinking of a G-Claron 270/9. With a flange focal length of 264mm on that lens I could focus down to 2.2m, which would be fine as I have other lenses if I need to have more magnification.
