In my state, the running clock rule has a stipulation that the clock be stopped for any free throws in the last two minutes of the 4th quarter.

Extrapolating this for your situation, I'd be inclined to start the clock as I would after the last three throw.

(If it was a summer game, I'd ask to start the clock as soon as the first free throw was administered, mostly since most summer leagues are loosey-goosey when it comes to admin stuff )

Just my $0.02
