Another way to get around this problem is to use a Mark's mini-rack. You can adjust its height to accommodate the saddlesack. Then, if you feel that the bag overlaps the rack too much, you can make yourself a little platform out of 1/4" plywood. I ride a 54cm frame so like Jay I have the opposite problem, but I didn't like the way the bag sagged over the sides of the rack. Here's photos:
