I hadn't read that and I don't do it that way.  The following gives me 
what I would want if I (I am a clarinetist) were playing it (actually I 
would prefer it on separate staves).  I didn't put the last stems the 
way you did.  That might require something trickier and would be less 
correct in my opinion - I'm not saying it isn't done your way in an 
actual part.

<< { f''8.(\p e''16 f''8 c'' e''2) } \\ { c''4.( f'8 g'2) } >>

(I might put the dynamic somewhere else in the code but I don't think 
that's what you were asking about.
