Do a simple test yourself to find out. I think you will find that 
your idea works, but YMMV

Put camera on tripod, parallel to a wall. Attach something to the 
wall to show exactly where the rangefinder has its  limits. Exactly 
is not meant to be taken seriously as the limits depend on where you 
put your eye in relation to the back  of the viewfinder. Make notes 
of how you did it. Place some more marks on the wall outside and 
inside the first marks, so that you will know how much more or less 
than the viewfinder shows you get on the negative. Make a note of the 
distance between the marks, on the wall is best, no chance to forget 
later.

Develop, print and you will KNOW!
