Well, now at least I know of a way to move it around, but I have no
idea what the pair of numbers for x-extent mean (and #'(-5 . 5) puts
the clef in an even stranger place).

Maybe playing with other settings wil help for a better place: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/clef

E.g. :

\version "2.20.0"

\paper {
  line-width = 50
}
\layout {
  indent = 0
  system-count = 1
}

<<
  \new Staff { R2.*4 c''8 8 8 8 8 8 }
  \new Staff { R2. c''4 r r c'' r r r e'' r r d'' r }
  \new Staff {
    \clef F \time 3/4 R2.*3
    \clef G g4 r r g r r
    \once\override Staff.Clef.X-extent = #'(-2 . 0)
    %\once\override Staff.Clef.space-alist = #'((staff-bar extra-space . 5))
    %% or:
    \once\override Staff.Clef.space-alist = #'((staff-bar minimum-space . 2.2))
    \clef F
  }
>>
