Link wires are available in different sizes. See Sheldon Brown's site for
info

But can't your wire slip out of the non-anchored side, to allow your brakes
to fully open?
Beyond that, why not eschew the link wire altogether and use a simple
straddle cable and yoke? You can then get the yoke up as high as you want,
for clearance above the rack bolt.
