I might try it myself if I can get a source of filter holders - may be able to make one out of aluminium, but it will be tricky.

The guys that sell the mb may have filter holders to sell separately.

As the filter holders handles should usually be on the right (or left), the length is not a problem then. It becomes so in cases like graduated NDs, where it's useful to have a vertical adjustment to move the filter up and down.

It's for those cases only that I suggested cutting the filter holders so as to make them shorter on the handle side.
