In order to get it all ...

... you should also disconnect the hose that goes into the thermostat and then raise the front of the car a bit so that the three radiators can fully drain.
Happy Boxstering,

P.S. I disconnected the 2 big hoses as part of the draining and the drain screw.

I will check tonight If I am correct I did disconnect that hose also and I raised the car I did get some extra but not nearly enough of what should be in there.
