When I built my QL in a small PC case, I built a standing bus extension behind the mainboard, and also a slot for the QEP-III on the left side of the case, which you could plug in optionally. An Expanderam and a SuperQBoard were in the bus behind the mainboard and everything worked perfectly, without any buffering.

Perhaps it also depends on the QL itself whether this can work.
Maybe some were made buffered to allow for longer connections, or to cater for more types of card. I do remember the late Dennis Briggs (Adman Services) telling me that it could be hit and miss whether unbuffered expanders worked with some combinations of cards.
