I presume that the only way to get SVFR clearance in an E is if that E
extends to the ground, and is part of a surface area?


SVFR exists ONLY in a surface area.



Is it possible (albeit unlikely) to get SVFR up through a D into overlying
C?


An aircraft can be issued SVFR to climb to VFR conditions if the only
weather limitation is restricted visibility, but it would have to reach
basic VFR conditions while within the surface area.

"Climb to VFR within the Smallville surface area, maintain Special VFR
conditions until reaching VFR."
