David Your music consists of 8 bars in 2/4 plus a 1/16th upbeat, but your skip to keep the staff alive is 5 whole notes, ie 10 bars in 2/4, so there are almost 2 bars left over. Write your skips as \skip 16 \skip 2*8 and the two will end at the same time.
I do not get an extra clef, though. Perhaps you could check this again.
