I don't know that it matters if B2 is "no longer guarding A2". If A2 was managing to screen B2, and then A2 starts to move around B2, and A2 chucks him or bumps him, well, that's illegal,....regardless of whether B2 or B1 is gurading or screening A1 or A2.
If B2 gets into the path of A1 legally before there is contact, then he can draw a charge. If he tries to get into the path and doesn't make it, then it's a block. Same as always.
Regardless of who's guarding or screening whom, you just apply the rules as you've studied them, and that helps you determine who's legal and who's not.
Or am I just misunderstanding the question?
