I'm thinking now that this is where an elbow by the second stage is useful
again.  If the hose from the FFM regulator is pointed down so that it hits
the front of the shoulder instead of coming straight out to the side (left
or right), the clipped off long hose can rest on top of the short hose and
is now free to be deployed as usual.  Does this make sense?
