I think going to Oly in the middle is not the best idea. Do you have access to
any other bellows?
You could pick up a T-Mount Vivitar bellows on evilBay, which might make things
easier. Getting a Mamiya body -> T-mount might be a bit of a challenge, but
you’d still need to come up with the female Mamiya if you adapted to Oly, so
you might as well screw the Mamiya female onto a T-mount.

You could craft a simple bag-bellows and play with it to see how it will
perform before throwing money at it. I saw a neat one made from a thrift-store
purse on Instructables. I believe they used plastic milk-jug material to
“secure” the lens to the hole in the bag. Then you’d have a Mamiya-Lensbaby
thing going. :-)
You’re probably best off reversing the Maiya for macro, anyway, so worrying
about its mount is probably moot.
Why don’t you just put the Mamiya on the Hamma? I’ve never seen one, but that
would certainly have the best tilt/shift versatility. But I’m guessing it has a
rather long minimum.
