All that is required in this case is a simple plate or bar adapter to shift the camera back (or possibly forwards) to align the entrance pupil of the lens with the axis of rotation. That would virtually eliminate horizontal parallax. Any minor shift of the entrance pupil in the vertical direction can be can be compensated for by a small adjustment in the height of the centre column. Should cost next to nothing and take no more than an hour or two to make. My first panorama head was just such a design and consisted of a strip of wood to shift the camera back, and an L-bracket ( an old flash bracket) to hold the camera in portrait orientation, but the latter would not be needed for the painting panorama. The wooden bar fitted into the QR of the pan&tilt head of the cheap Velbon tripod.
