If there is room, you could stack two of those with
the tabs 180 degrees apart like this:

......tab
=====RRR|RRR===
..........tab

Ignore the ... (they're) for spacing
RRR is the ring portion of the clamp.

That might be easier than dremeling the tabs off.

Whether its even worth considering the imbalance with
a single Corbin clamp is debateable.
