Subject: How many ranks does a mounted character displace in an infantry unit.

Ok, So I know a mounted character can join a unit of infantry and is always placed in the front rank. If your running your infantry 5 man wide how many ranks does he displace.
If you place the model in the unit because he's on a 25mm x 50mm base he displaces slightly more than 2 rows if your infantry are only 20mm. So should I push the character on a mount forward and only displace two ranks. Or put him like he naturally fits and displace three?
I need to know because I'm making custom bases for my army. Can anyone give any guidance.
I appreciate any help in advance.

He counts for rank bonus based on how many models he displaces.
In the case of cavalry, he displaces 2 infantry models. In the specific case of 20mm infantry, he still only displaces 2 models, even though he'd push his file back slightly more than that. It leaves the unit a little uneven (he's also slightly wider than them), but that's okay.

I was just asking this question, too... here's what I found (bottom of page 3 in the right-hand column) I believe it was released this month as a part 2 of the GW FAQ?
