If you apparently have not yet tried 35mm pinhole, chances are that you will not be pleased with the results. I say this because there just isn't much room for definition on such a small piece of film. Of course, that may be what you ar looking for, so you'll need to decide. Making a pinhole cap is pretty simple, so you will definitely want to test things out before going that route.
In my mind, you've already got the best of all worlds. If you have been working with 4X5, it is simply a matter of getting a roll back for the camera so that you can use 120 film. A 6X7 back will probably be most affordable, as 6X9 backs are not as readily available and will be more expensive (if anyone knows of an inexpensive 6X9 back that is available, I might be interested). This alternative gives you the flexibility of shooting and reloading in the field, as well as switching to 4X5 when the need arises.
