Two things to keep in mind that might allow you to shorten that tail. Using a gently curved rather than a straight line allows the air flow to remain attached to a somewhat higher angle. Also, if the tail is tapered in from the sides as well as vertically, this reduces the volume of air that is needed to fill in under the tail.
