This example is way much better as it is than with any change of staff
or clef for these notes.  If, as you say, a staff goes to a hand,
think for a moment that two halves of the pianist's brain (so to
speak) are reading each staff and those ledger lines help keeping the
notes in the same staff and therefore makes them to be more easily
read.  Overmore, this example makes a very typical piano music
fragment as it is typeset.
