if they really need to be different lengths, then i would suggest double-click, copy / edit your master (the one you tweaked to absolute perfections) and assign. this will make it available in the main expression palette, while using a metatool copies them at one level deeper in the finale abyss.
also, something i should have mentioned, unless there is clear and reeeeeeeally convincing tonal or motivic (repeated patterns / notes) reasons for maintaining these monstrosities, i have found it is usually better to use enharmonic respellings than splayed stems. for example, i always respell B-C-C# as B-C-Db, Bb-B-C-C# as A#-B-C-Db. there is so much gained in spacing and time and tweaking in comparison to splayed stems. the performer will need to think it out anyways, so the odd enharmonic spellings are really not that big an issue. >Curious as to why you say "assign by double-clicking, NOT >metatool"...
