Easier said than done - you won't be able to remove the C#/G# key and have difficulty accessing the ring key point screws if both joints are glued together.

Makers of single piece clarinets will have used rod screws and either mounted the C#/G# key on a separate set of pillars (like older Leblancs) or have a doubled pillar for the RH ring keys so the C#/G# rod screw can pass through the lower bauble which will have a hole drilled through it for this purpose (like some pillars on saxes so the LH main action screw can be extracted easily).

The bridge key will have to have a clutch so both LH2 and RH rings are independent and the RH rings will lower the LH2 ring key vent for long Bb - if they were fused together to work as one single key, you'd lose the C, upper register G and altissimo E altogether as holding down LH2 will close the lower ring key vent.
