Not having actually tried this myself, my guess is that it won't work. It isn't just that the C clarinet is shorter, but that the relative distances between the individual tone holes is different among the various sizes of clarinet. Even if a much shorter barrel would bring the shortest-length fingerings (the throat notes) down a whole step, the pitch as you add fingers would be progressively out of tune because all the holes would too far apart. It isn't a matter of absolute distances from hole to hole, but one of proportions.
