Subject: Alter length of secondary beam over rest

In the following MWE, I want to have the secondary beam on the last note B much shorter, so that only the main beam goes over the rest. How can one achieve this? It would be good if that part of secondary beam was the same length as the other tertiary beams.

\version "2.19.83"

{
  \stemUp
  c''32[ c'''16
  \set stemLeftBeamCount = #3
  \set stemRightBeamCount = #1
  e''32
  r16 b''16]
}

Seems like others pointed you to a more complicated and code-intensive solution.

Perhaps an easier way is to define the final note as an 8th note, which is how you actually want it to behave, beamwise, adjust the actual timing to be correct, then specify the 'extra' beam.

\version "2.19.80"

{
  \stemUp
  c''32[ c'''16
  \set stemLeftBeamCount = #3
  \set stemRightBeamCount = #1
  e''32
  r16
  \set stemLeftBeamCount = #2
  b''8*1/2]
}
