I wouldn't do that. I really like the long mount, and the two mount holes. But mostly, I like the "handle-like" quality of the long mount.
I understand... I often wish for more space between the tripod mount and the lens barrel as I like to use the mount as a handle to carry the lens/camera. IIRC my modified 300mm is still OK for this but the FA*400/5.6 is difficult to carry this way, even with my thin little fingers.
