It (the superclamp) does have the stud. Looking at the photo of the 099B, it looks like it slips over something and then is tightened with a thumb screw?? Not sure how that would work with the stud on the clamp? Or do you flip the stud over where the nut side is sticking up?
It probably is like the Manfrotto adapter that I have since the top of my Bogen 3373 has an unthreaded stud on the top.
The 099b slips over that threadless stud on the superclamp and that small thumbscrew at the bottom of the 099b tightens onto the stud holding it in place.
Ha, I googled how to connect the two and first hit was a thread here at ts.com:

Exactly
I run the Manfrotto SuperClamp/099B combo and you just tighten the base screw of the 099B onto the threadless stud of the Superclamp, just like RigPimp stated
I LOVE the 099B and it goes to about 6'! If you plan on doing a lot of clamping, I also suggest a smaller extension. Either a Lowel Half Pole[what I own] or a Manfrotto equivalent that goes to about 3' at its max! I use the Half Pole a good bit to get in weird places where the 099B would be a bit too big like balcony railings/etc, and also, if I ever needed to go higher than my stands 10' max! I mainly use the 099B setup at Amphitheaters where I can clamp to the back of the SBD rail at places like Blossom/Star Lake/MPP/Lakeview/etc, but also at smaller venues like Stage AE, where I can also clamp to a sturdy/cemented in the ground SBD rail! Its also useful for clamping in between seats in Theaters as well!
That said, I wish I had an end jaw Mathellini clamp or two in my arsenal too. They seem to grip better/tighter and have a much wider jaw than the Superclamp, which would certainly be useful for taping IMO!
And about the Superclamp being overkill for a stand, id say yes! Its too heavy for clamping at the top of a stand IMO, unless you have a monster stand or are extremely well secured wherever you're taping! Add on LDs/SDs and you have a good bit of weight up there! As always, YMMV
