I like the simplicity of something like the Hollywood rack cyccommute shared but it looks like the max wheelbase is 60" (already long for non-tandem-specific racks, based on my cursory research), while my Santana's wheelbase is 65".

Anyone have info on the Long Bike Tote tandem rack? Not too many online reviews of it, but it looks like a decent candidate.
2010 Cannondale Road tandem, L/S. Wheelbase is 69”. The wheels are well cradled in the wheel holder but the wheel holder arms are pretty far out on the edge of the bar. There would be room for maybe a couple of more inches but the bike at that point is sticking out past the sides of the truck pretty far.
