Yes, there have been some brave souls who have scaled those heights. In the collection of the Michigan State University Library is a book by Dick deBona,
"Super Altissimo System for Clarinet: Extend Your Clarinet Range into the 5th Octave--A New Octave for the Bb Clarinet." This was published in Mass. in 1988. All I can say is good luck; negotiating the first 4 octaves is plenty enough for me.

Paul Drushler has a good book on a partials approach to the altissimo similar to the approach Rasher and Ted Nash used on the saxophone. Another useful book is Norman Heim's, which follows the method of developing a single consistent embouchure for bridging wider and wider intervals at higher and higher pitches (Just the sort of thing David Hattner lectured on in his series on legato techniques using the Baermann III).

Flute players practice high register studies by J. Filas. William Higgins has transcribed these in "Altissimo Studies for Clarinet: 90 Melodious Studies from Filas." Kalmen Opperman in his "The New Extended Working Range for Clarinet" includes fingerings for some notes above the traditional range but does not offer any explanation of how to use them.
