22 drawer on a 21 Blum drawer slide?

Furnished content.

My original kitchen plans were to build 22 deep drawers, but Blum under mount slides jump in size from 21 to 24. There won't be room for a 24 deep drawer so I ordered the 21 and just planned to make 21 deep drawers.
However as I was looking over the 21 drawer slides that were delivered and I thought that maybe I could still make 22 deep drawers by just setting the locking clip back by 1 with a spacer and of course the drawer slide would have to be set 1 deeper into the cabinet as well. That means that the last 1 won't extend outside the cabinet frame, but I don't see that as an issue and I'll have an extra inch of depth to use.
But I've never installed these slide types before so I'm not sure if there's an issue with this idea that I'm overlooking.
Would this work?
Thanks
