That's a new one for me. Until I hit the lottery and get a basset
clarinet, and in my past performances) I've played ACAF EGEC ACAF EGEC,
where the 2nd E is the low E, and the last C of the second group is 3
finger C. This keeps the pitches that Mozart wrote with only one in the
wrong octave, and preserves the third register change for the pattern.
Although I like Tony's solution, too.

I've never liked this. The F sounds out of place, both in pitch and in
contour for the line. For me the loss of the arpeggiated figure is a poor
choice.
