I think it's like this. It's not fully off subject, but...

For universal purposes, let's call them half-steps. That's what they really are.

Ab Sopranino: One octave minus a whole step above Bb clarinet (8 half-steps above written pitch? someone verify me on these.)
Eb Soprano: One fourth above Bb Clarinet (3 half-steps above WP)
Bb Soprano: 2 half-steps below WP
Eb Alto: One fifth below Bb Clarinet (9 half-steps below WP)
BBb Bass: One octave below Bb (14 below WP)
EEb Contralto: One fifth below Bass, one octave below Alto (21 H/S below WP)
BBBb Contrabass: two octaves below Bb (26 H/S below WP)
EEEb Octocontralto: two octave below Alto (33 H/S below WP)
BBBBb Octocontrabass: THREE octaves below Bb (A whopping 38 half-steps below WP)

I hope my figures are right. It would explain why only a few EEEb and BBBBb clarinets exist in the world...
