You just risk damaging the rear main seal by taking the flywheel on and off again. Try a little high temp grease on the seal and flywheel mounting surface. That will minimize the chances of damaging the seal. As mentioned, the shims come in different thicknesses, so pick a thicker one, and two mediums and give it a go. If the engine already had a set of shims, try those first. Chances are it will be close. Or you can of course just use two shims and calculate the difference as mentioned above, but then you are pretty much assured that you'll have to pull the flywheel back off. Not the end of the world.
