You can avoid the seemingly inviolate limit of the lensboard size itself. There's something Graflex taught me when I had an 80mm Planar mounted by them for my Century. They played with it and discovered you can unscrew the rear element of a large lens, mount the front half on the camera, compress the bellows to the back, then mount the rear element from the back. Worked for me. Keep that in mind as you make your decision. Also, in a wide angle situation, you'll have the bellows compressed already, so you'll have more than the normal room for the larger diameter of a wide angle lens element. Might interfere with movements, though.
Just a thought.
