6x17 back on 4 by 5 camera: Yes!

You could mount a 6cmx17cm back on a 4" by 5" camera -
it just has to have some extra depth, and have its own
ground glass focusing screen.
Horseman had (has?) a 8" by 10" back for their VHR 4 by 5 camera.
Same principle. Think of the camera as a focusing lens mount.
