The rhythms are not intended to be accurate — just an illustration of the order in which the notes might be executed.
This interpretation is backed up by the fingering in measure 18, which suggests that the C# be played with the thumb, the E with finger 2, and then a run of 2-3-4 up to the G#.
Glenn Gould performs measure 18 in this way, although in measure 10 he puts the "run" at the beginning (i.e., bottom) of the chord.
