Subject: [CR]Gran Sport rear derailleur tooth capacity

I was trying unsuccessfully today to get a Campagnolo Gran Sport mech from the early 1960s to accommodate the 28 tooth cog on a five-speed freewheel. Is it a question of footering about with chain length or am I wasting my time? The front chainrings are the usual 42/52.

Since I've hardly got any time to waste these days, any advise/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Bruce
