Basically, X-extent will define the X space dimension used by the clef.
1 is the height between two lines in a staff.
Here, #'(-5 . 5) stays for 5 spaces on the left side of the clef and 5
spaces on the right side.
Too much, of course; you'll have to find the right figures according to
your score.
Cheers,
Pierre
