All the pipers are external.
Body off job if you want to do the final rear one. I spent over£1000 on pipes last year doing this. I had to bend the rear one which now keeps killing the compressor as I assume it still has a kink somewhere.
I strongly recommend blanking the rear.  job.

Thanks for the reply. Would the rear one be the one that connects to the long pair which goes from front wheel arch to halfway along vehicle

I would assume NSR inner trim panel will have to come off to access the pipes as they enter the rear evaporator.
If you get it all done I highly recommend spraying all the pipes with aerosol motorcycle chain grease sticks like the proverbial and will stop and future corrosion.
I was lucky and only had to replace the pair that run down the Nearside sill.

Better still, have them replaced with plastic pipes by a independent A/C specialist.  2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
