First off loved the video of the power cleans and look at how perfect her form was.
I like to do 2 widening and 2 thickening. I think pulling from different angles is good imo. The back is the biggest sheet of muscle so it needs more work.
Have you seen the movie, "I am legend" with Will Smith. Did you notice how he didn't do a full range of motion? If you didn't see the movie click
here.
I personally don't go all the way down either but I go allot deeper that Will does. When you don't go all the way down it kind of spreads the lats out and that is what you want.
Another excercse that I have not tried but sounds promising is strap lots of weights to your waist and strap your grip and hang for as long as you can with a very wide grip. That should (in theory) give you a wide back.
For every study that says wide grip gives you a wide back comes a study that says wide grip doesn't matter.
My take is that it does.
As for cleans and deads, do cleans on shoulder day and space out your back day and shoulder day. Any questions?
