I think the biggest concern would be axle strength since if you just made the axle longer you'd have a long unsupported length outboard of the bearings.

Plus you may need to use fat bike rear spacing to get it all to fit and chainline might end up being a mess
I figure I will need that or at least need boost or super boost spacing. It is probably doable but I would want to really do it right and kind of design around it rather than just kludge it together (if I were to do it of course)
