Looks ugly, and H partisans are screaming for a foul, but H-1's rhythm, speed, balance, and quickness are NOT affected. In other words, he can easily play through the contact. I yell to keep playing (very seldom do I talk with a whistle in my mouth), and we move on.

I got to thinking, would RSBQ even apply to situations like this? We don't apply it when someone gets hacked on the arm. Where does one draw the line, if any, at application?

While it a HTBT to know if you should have whistled a foul or not, I don't see why the need to tell the players to keep playing. Also could you describe the play a little more detailed? What was V2 doing that caused him to leap over H1? Did he leap completely over him like in "leap frog"?
