I'll post more at civil3d.com later today, but basically, this one is hit or miss.
try this:
1 reverse the label that won't span the crows feet
2 flip the label that won't span the crows feet
3 all else fails, make child styles for 'start crow foot only' and 'end crow foot only' then label separately
but I will run thru some of the scenarios that give me trouble and the solutions I've found in a blog post later today
