Thanks for your patience while I was away. I have answered your
questions below.

Sure, I put this in to quickly delete so files. I think its better to
use --no-output which doesn't write most of the files to disk. I'll
look into --clean and may remove it.

You are correct that a period means two separate molecules. If you are
using eLBOW to generate restraints for a protein refinement, you should
never pass two molecules (via SMILES) because of the nature of the
lookup that is required for a ligand and its restraints. That is, a
single molecule such have a single three character code. Also, the
quantum code does not rely on explicit bond definitions to calculate the
molecule energy.
Having said that, eLBOW does operate on a PDB with multiple ligands in a
sensible fashion so if you can provide a case for running
phenix.elbow --smiles="C=CCN.C1C(O1)CCl"
rather than running
phenix.elbow --smiles="C=CCN"
phenix.elbow --smiles="C1C(O1)CCl"
and some sort of rationale I'm sure I can support it.
