What do you think about the basset version for these passages?
I don't own a basset clarinet. So I don't think much about the basset version--haha. Check out the link Tony posted--seems very well researched and reasoned. To me, it makes sense to start on the low C.

What's your idea for the articulation?
Well, we don't have any manuscript for the quintet; the articulation, then, isn't as much of a debate as the first movement of the concerto. Moreover, the passage you're asking about isn't a melodic line--it's an obbligato bass/harmonic line beneath the variation theme in the strings. At a somewhat similar moment in the concerto--the E pedal during the closing area of the exposition--I remember the manuscript having no written articulations (though I'd need to double check to be sure); the performer, then, could add slurs where he/she likes.
At any rate, the moment you ask about in the quintet is rather straightforward, musically speaking. You could play it all tongued or add slurs where you see fit.
