Kostas,
For myself, lens tilt is the gain.
With another body (a monorail or technical camera, like a Linhof or Horseman)
the shift and other movements become more significant and useful.
Nikon makes/made a bellows with some movement (tilt). A really nice unit.
But I never saw such from Canon or Pentax. Their bellows are all just
for straight macro,
without any additional features. So more directly to your question,
these features are not possible with a simple Pentax bellows.
The ideal construction would have been to mount a 645->135 adapter onto
the board. That would presumably allow better light transmission. Perhaps if
I can find one at a really good price ...
