If either foot is completely outside (i.e. NOT touching the 24" width at all) the 24", it's illegal. You seem hung up on whether the NP foot started inside or outside mattering wrt where it ends up. Keep in mind that 99% of the illegal pitches of this variety are exactly that... NP starting on the pitchers plate, and ending up 6 inches outside the 24" - doing that is illegal.
