Placement auditions

If this has been covered before, feel free to remove this topic and re-direct me.

I have placement auditions for the Junior Symphony in a little under a month and I have a question regarding one of the excerpts. All five of the clarinet's excerpts are from Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Scheherezade'.

In the third movement at the clarinets first entrance, should the groups of 26 and 32 be played mathematically correct, or in a free and almost ad-libed 'play-from-this-note-to-this-note-in-this-amount-of-time-using-these-notes-inbetween' sort of way? I've only listened to two recordings of it but they were both played fairly freely.

Thanks in advance.
