How about a 5C splinter? Without a rock solid agreement, partner will not know if the splinter was a stiff or void, but it is clear that it is a splinter. My KISS rule is that when a suit bid is forcing (like 4C would be here), then a jump in that suit is a splinter. Opener will almost certainly bid 5D. Then a que of 6C will make it clear that you have first round control of Cs. Correcting 6D to 6S should complete the picture of your hand for partner, and he will have an easy raise to 7 holding the SA. On the remote chance that opener has the CA and decides to que it with 6C after the splinter, then you can be sure that he does not also have the SA, so you can stop in 6S with no worries.

5♣ very much looks like it's to play.
