As I mentioned earlier, I have seen something like this... done with a white light mounted on the very end of a rear rack and pointing forward and toward the back of the cyclist... so that is one way to do it.
Probably wouldn't hurt to put a bit of a stick there to raise the light (keep it out of the way of anything you are carrying on the rack), and you could mount a reflector and a blinkie aimed aft at the same time.
