That will lift the front of the car, at which point you can place jackstands at both of the front jacking points, lower the front of the car and pull the jack out.

In summary, lift the car twice and place four jackstands. Easy easy.
Rereading your post, may I assume by "With the floor jack under the rear crossmember" and "just behind the front wheel wells, placing the jack well inboard (you will see a good structural location about 18” in)," you're referring to the same lift points John Salt used in his video? Otherwise, according to Porsche, damage to the undercarriage can result.
