What I changed:
- remove the \once 's so it lasts for more than one note
- add \autoBeamOff so no beams are drawn
- add \noFlag (you forgot)

%snippet
stemExtend = {
       \override Stem #'length = #20
       \override Stem #'cross-staff = ##t
}

noFlag = \override Stem #'flag-style = #'no-flag
   
     \new PianoStaff <<
       \new Staff \relative c' { c8.  c16~  c16  c8 des16~ des2
        
       }
       \new Staff \relative c{
         \clef bass \stemUp \autoBeamOff \noFlag  \stemExtend fis8. fis16~ 
\stemExtend
fis16 fis8 f16~ f2

 }
     >>
%end snippet

You should fiddle with the Stem#'length and may be add macros to revert hte 
overrides, like:

stemExtendOff = {
        \revert Stem #'cross-staff
        \revert Stem #'length
}
etc.
