I'm not suggesting that you use one of these because they have some
disadvantages for your purpose (e.g. two bleed valves at opposite ends,
no 300mm version etc.) but you might look at other brands to see if they
have the same clear air gap between fins. Output would obviously be
reduced but possibly not unacceptably so.

You can get what I think my plumbers merchant called a one-and-a-half
panel radiator. It's a double panel radiator but made slimmer by not
having any fins on one of the panels, which would work better in the wrong
orientation. They are the Type HF in the Ultraheat link I posted earlier.
