Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why not just use the 7/8mm rod? The length of the flash tubes are going to prevent maximum focus anyway, so shifting the the rod a few inches off axis should not hurt anything, especially if the PLM is soft silver or white.
For some reason I thought the more centered, the better. Thanks for letting me know otherwise.
This would be true with our lights and the extreme silver PLM, if by "better" you mean more focused. This is due to the relatively small size of the flash tube, which makes it more of a point source of light than a 6" long tube would. Additionally, white cannot be focused at all, only choked down (gridded), and the soft silver is less sensitive than extreme silver. Again, though, without the point source centering it would make a nominal improvement at best.
