My answer was going to be that the illumination goes to the right and left of the plate. However, I just measured my CAD model, and the transom will be roughly 6"x23". A US plate is 6"x12", which leaves 6"x5" for each taillight cluster. I probably won't find three-color clusters that small, so your solution does sound pretty good after all.

Look at trailer lights... there are a set that work for tail/turn/clearance. They have white/amber lights on the sides of the casings, so that if you mount those with the lights facing inside rather than out, they will illuminate the plate for you.
Also, you may be able to get away with using an illuminated license frame in that case, as long as it's a white or dull yellow light and it doesn't flash, flicker, or otherwise modulate.
Like this:
Except on those, they may just be reflectors.
My personal option would be the illuminated frame.
There are also bolts which have directionally lighted heads, normally used on motorcycles, etc.
