Tomahawk modifications

Hi, i am planning to build the Tomahawk lowracer, but i have quite a long back, so i'm trying to find out how i best account for that.

In the plans the back piece is 19" long, but i measure 27" from seat to the middle of my shoulderblades (where the upper backpiece would begin).
I have already decided to go with a 28" back wheel, and i want to keep the wheelbase quite short.
My thinking was to let the seatback tube protrude about 7-9" backwards from where it meets the rear fork, and then change the angle from 45 to 55 degrees.

I have drawn it here:

Do you have any ideas or insights on this problem?
 
I can't see any problem in doing that. Being a little more vertical with your body will help with balancing it too.
