Some thoughts-
It is possible on occasion to come across a bocal with a truly pronounced
curvature. I have a spare Dallas #2 with a huge amount of curve- using this bocal has the effect of bringing the instrument upwards substantially so that the right hand position is higher, so it is easier to reach all of the notes on the right hand.
Add a long extension plate to the F# touch. The extension plate should just miss interfering with the C-D trill lever.
Add an adjustable thumb-rest, such as Selmer adjustable bass clarinet thumb
rest.
It is usually possible to bend the key touches of the right hand pinky key
up neared the split ring D. Even 1/8 of an inch change can sometimes make a huge difference in the ability to reach all of the touches with some ergonomic comfort. Do not try this at home though- best to have an oboe repair specialist accomplish this task.
