pretty easy actually, normal tint will go on with only 4 pieces, and some of the better newer tints only 2 or 3 peices...

If a tint shop says they can't do tint on the back, they are too lame to do tint on the back.

Heck I have even put Home depot smoke tint on the back with no problems

The shop in my town is using new solarguard tints, they do 1 piece rear windows now. He did my millenia with one piece, and he said he could use his heat shrinking technique to do a single piece rear rx7 window. You just need to find a good shop. Anyone who says they can't do it hasnt been tinting cars long enough.
