Update on my previous response:
If on a free kick, the kicking team has an illegal formation, i.e. less than 4 players on either side of the kicker, it's treated as a dead ball foul so the new kicking rules don't apply. If the illegal formation was during a scrimmage kick then the penalty yardage may be added on at the succeeding spot.
