The only difference in what I do is to use narrow strips about an 1 1/2″ wide right under the clamps running them front to back leaving even more places for the chips to get out from under.

You don’t contact the stop block against the fence. Instead you bring it slightly towards you, thus leaving a gap between the fence and stop block. This allows the sawdust space to escape. Any sawdust that collects between the stop block and the workpiece will result in an inaccurate cut.
