Well, I've done that also – actually have used 2 - 2x TCs stacked.
One thing about guys who do macro is that they seem to love fiddling with all of their stuff. Trying all manner of combinations and permutations of lenses, extension tubes, diopters, bellows, etc. is just part of the fun of macro.

I've got no idea how ReversedLens-Bellows-Raynox-Camera would perform.
There may be some difference in the distance with the Raynox behind the reversed lens vs in front of the reversed lens. However, it would not have been much as I didn't notice anything significant enough to make me check the measurement.
