The word "running" doesn't appear on that page. (Actually, no requirements at all appear on that page; it speaks strictly in terms of strengthening or weakening the case for inclusion, not disqualifying.) Can you explain briefly why that page is evidence that the running text requirement does not apply to Chinese, and where it specifies what the running text requirement is?
Alternatively, what requirements do apply to Chinese, and would they preclude an invented character like one with 女 on the left and 离 on the right?
I thought the symbol guideline page discussed "running text", but I guess not. Apparently the "running text" requirement isn't part of the published criteria even though it is enforced in discussion.
The running text requirement is for symbols, so it doesn't apply to Chinese: http://www.unicode.org/pending/symbol-guidelines.html
