David,
You could also try double m/s , basically just include another mkh40 pointing 
to the rear. 

Read more about it here:

I know a few TV Location Recordists that use that method. You could also use a 
mkh8040 (front or rear, your choice) to save even more space.
Just thinking out of the box...

Grant.
