Eccentric BB

Okay, this is a excersize in curiosity.
I see that Phill Wood make a product call Philcentric. Apparently it is a outboard BB that is also an eccentric. It provides 1/4" of adjustment.
How realistic is it to assume that this amount of adjustment will be enough to take up the slack on a chain in say a Rohloff hub converted bike?
