You can experiement with lots of positions. Tuft testing will help you understand what to keep.
I caught a glimpse of the Lamborghini Urus SUV the other day,which,I think,has a small,horizontal fin/spoiler,extending horizontally from the hatch.If the rear 'wing'were extended all the way,even with the fin,and sides installed to close it all in,you'd have a 'Kamm- back.'
This 'elongation' allows for flow deceleration and pressure recovery before it ultimately separates, increasing base pressure,and lowering pressure drag.
It would aggravate rear vision.With today's availability of synthetic vision,this issue becomes less and less a challenge to overcome.
