This crack sounds technically like a " Check",
it other words it does not go through the bore but is just on the surface and then down a little.....
seems like most of these cracks on Clarinets are on the LH section which gets the warmest and has the most moisture.
Here is the deal, this crack may still be growing and short of banding it it may continue to grow... which is no big issue in this approach I am suggesting
So if you take it to a repair person at this point and it cracks again, don't freak out!
I'd put some crazy Glue along the crack and keep playing it, if the crack opens up again and it may....fill it again with glue..... and if it opens again fill it again...
. this may be over the course of several months.... at that point if the crack does not open any more.....( and I think Clarinets are probably like Irish Flutes and Bagpipes, filling it 3 times will be the magic number for sealing) take it to your local repair person and let them finish off the surface over the crack so it looks nice.... now when you fill in with the glue at first it may look a little rough but I would not be concerned as the repair person will be able to make it look nice in the end when the crack stabilizes
