Reverse Extension Tube

I found this interesting article about DIY macro reverse extension tube.
I'm aware that using extension tube between the camera body and lens gives macro magnification. I also know that mounting a reversed lens on camera body (with special reverse adapter) also gives macro magnification. Now, I didnt know if both can be combined, i.e. using extension tube between camera body and a reversed lens. I'm curious about the magnification ratio relation with the extension tube length, anyone can help me? Thanks in advance.

Take a look at these:

http://www.pentaximaging.com/files/manual/Bellows_Unit.pdf

http://www.pentaximaging.com/files/manual/Auto_Extension_Tube_Set_K.pdf

In each document, toward the end, there is a section on using the reverse mount adapter with bellows/extension tubes.
