It seems to me that the main problem is that paper doesn't support it
either.  Care for making a sketch how you imagine this should look like?


Here's what I wrote earlier in reply to Urs.  

 I'm leaning toward something very simple, like

---16 20---  whitespace between pad numbers means play simultaneously.  

For stemmed tablature, I'd say the stems should attach to the rightmost pad number for up stems and the leftmost for downstems.  

Slurs, I suppose, should extend from the leftmost pad that's musically part of the slur to the rightmost.

For glissandi, it may be challenging to cover all possibilities.  The Linnstrument permits a slide from any pad to any other in the same row, so there's a need to cover cases like sliding from the center note of 3 pads held down on a row to some other note.
