2. All 11 A players have been set for at least 1 second, then 1 A player goes in motion legally, and then the ball is snapped.

As long as A does one of those 2, they can shift and reshift to their hearts' content until they've used up the play clock.
What if the game clock is running and shows less than the play clock?
