A player commits a false start with a running game clock with 1 second on the play clock on 4th down with 24 seconds left in the game. Are there officials here who would even consider starting on the RFP?

For a False Start, with 1 second left on the play clock, I'd agree with restarting the clock on the snap, but the question was about a holding penalty on an 8 yard gain, where it seems at least reasonable to suspect the intent of the foul was a lot more about achieving the next 1st down, rather than manipulating the clock.
