I wouldn't go any further back the -1 cm. I have a couple of friends who are 6'4" and mounted the ski -2 and -3 because they were afraid the ski would be too short. After skiing them, they remounted to the boot center recommendation. The reason: the center or the ski is the stiff part of the ski. The tail is soft and tapered. The result of moving the mounting point back was a lot of wheelies. The ski floats high enough in the snow that you don't have to worry about the shorter length.
