What edition (orchestration) are you playing. My copy of the Ravel orchestration (with the original piano part at the bottom of the score) shows C-natural(4) at the fifth note (after the second C#) and it ends on G# (it's actually spelled in flats, not sharps). Are you using a different orchestration?
Given the notes you've transcribed, on some Boehm clarinets, C#4 can be played T XXO|XX0. The fingering is more often used for G#5 and the pitch won't be pristine. You could either start with it, use it only on the second C# or use it for both.
It isn't impossible to do by jumping the LH pinky up from E3 to C# (I think that's how I've done it - but I haven't played the piece in a long time and my memory may be clouded).
Failing either of those, I think the better notes to leave out are either the 2nd note (F3 - play the next E3 on the right) or the 4th note (the 2nd C#). The reason for me is that at the tempo involved re-starting on a beat (either 2 or 3) is easier - I'm less prone to start late than if I start or re-start on a subdivision.
