Hi Jon,
I agree with Thomas. Splitting up the part into two staves is not neccessary if they are both in treble clef. It should be the performer's discression as to the sticking that they should use. So I would just minimalize that into one staff.
I think the exceprt is not "insanely difficult" as you had stated. A marimbist should be able to play the piano part (that's piano right?) with no problems. As of now, the piece is scored for a marimbist with two mallets. We can hold four. So if you want to make the marimba part come out more, feel free to add more notes, or to maybe have the part done in octaves. It would make the piece more appealing, that is unless you wanted it that way.
Here is an articel to read regarding composing for the marimba: http://www.nancyzeltsman.com/memo.htm.
Good luck!
