As a general rule of thumb, any string of syllables which is rough…ly the same length as a given string and ends in the same consonant cluster-vowel cluster or vowel cluster-consonant cluster can be considered rhyming, so, for the word 'penultimate' (usually pronounced either [pɪ'nɑl'tɪmɪt] or [pɪ'nəl'tɪmɪt] or [pɪ'nəl'tɪmət]) , any word or phrase consisting of at least 3 syllables and ending in, depending on the pronunciation of 'penultimate', either [ət] or [ɪt] would constitute a rhyme.
