Yes - after the change for https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41040, a
ruby run will basically contain:

    [:before-generated content]? [RenderRubyRun]* [:after-generated
content]?

Where RenderRubyRun is an inline-block element with 1 RenderRubyBase and
(currently) 0-1 RenderRubyTexts - the latter may change to 0-n at some
point.

Thinking this further, I also believe that once you implement ruby overhang
for the edges of the <ruby> element it will really look strange unless you
also implement overhang and offsets between ruby runs within the same <ruby>
element - i.e., implement Jukugo-ruby. This then has implications on the
line-breaking code within a single ruby.

Finally, as yet another corner case that I forgot in my last mail: as
implied above note that you also have to consider the
:before/:after-generated content for overhang.

Incidentally, you'll also have to consider generated content for item 4) of
your initial list (over/under-lines on ruby).
