It doesn't really matter as long as it is a C-Mount lense. If your mount works with this Meteor lense, it should work with other C-Mount lenses!

Yes, it would be asesome to have something like this! And it is a great feature for your fat backcover project. Godspeed!

Could someone do calculations for C-mount with our standard Zeiss (well, licensed) lens present and/or tell me how this calculation is performed (and why like that)?
You are giving me too much credit, Estel. I will look into this, and find out the theoretical way to calculate this. Even with the theoretical way, however, I think some trial and error will be necessary. In particular, it is important that infinity focusing is maintained. It is common for inferior lens mount adapters to have slight flaws in the calculation of flange focal distance which cause infinity focusing to be lost (when using the adapter, the user can't actually make objects very far to be in focus).

I haven't looked into how this is calculated, but I will take a look. Sorry for the late reply, I've been too busy (and next week won't be better unfortunately).
