David,
I know this is a very late response considering when you posted the first message in this thread but I'll answer it anyway.
What I gather is that you are putting a veneer on the vertical edge of this table. Assuming this is correct I would do this.
Make a two ply, which is a backer veneer glued to your marquetry, and then glue this two your table edge. This two ply will guarantee a more successful pressing as it can handle areas that don't press at maximum pressure.
I would cut a double layer of 3/8" bending ply and put the band clamps on top of that. You could do it in a vacuum press but would need to block up your table on, lets say, a 2" thick piece of rigid Styrofoam so you get good side pressure. I would use just one layer of bending ply as a cover sheet and tape it in place so the bag doesn't shift it.
Hope this helps if its not too late.
Sincerely
Darryl Keil
