Hi Jon, yes that was the section I was thinking of.
First off I myself have done similar installations however I am still not sure it is allowed.
Your post makes not of the fact that the conductors to and from the various switches are _not_ joined to form single conductors, but are _separate_ circuit pathways.
And that you do not believe that is what 300.4 describes.
That would mean "Ring circuits" must be code compliant.
All this makes little sense to me.
I can not run a pair of 12 AWGs from breaker to a single outlet but I can do it in a ring fashion.
Electrically I am missing the difference.
