Wouldn't be too difficult to make a minor modification to make this work.

Get the tent of choice, then decide on the optimal length you need and create a lightweight attachment point at the right length from one end or the other.  A removable and adjustable one might be a small hose clamp with a key ring threaded through it.

I've got the Rainbow and I'm pretty sure this would work.
