I just bought a rear rack about 3 weeks ago and today i bought a set of planet Bike fenders, to combat wet arse syndrome. The front mounted perfectly, but the in the rear I only have one set of eyelets to mount everything to.

Do I just get a longer set of bolts and mount everything to the one eyelet? Will this cause any problems?

Sure, you can double up with one set of eyelets. I have both a rack and Esge fenders mounted on my old Trek rain bike that way. If possible, you want the rack stays inboard of the fender stays but even that isn't critical.
