Cover crop into standing wheat

Location
North Notts
Thinking of sowing a small area as a trail into standing wheat for the shoot. Mustard will make up a big % of the mix but what else could be added to get a bit of diversity and provide a bit of cover and when would you aim at spreading it on ?
Plan to cot the straw long but don’t want to cause any problems for the combine.

I’ve often wondered about this into spring wheat because it’s late by the time it’s cut but would a fert spreader stand any chance of throwing small seeds 28m
