I agree that the rear box may present a minor problem.  The depth of the rear 
box may present some limitations on how the camera collapses, protection 
of/interference with the bellows, etc.  I think the bigger concern is the 
size and shape of the bellows relative to the front standard.  A tapered 
bellows collapses better but this requires a smaller front standard which 
limit lens size, addition of a Packard shutter, etc., depending on your 
ultimate use of the camera, lens focal length and extension, and so on.  I'd 
worry more about the front end.
