If there was room in the box/pattress, would it be in line with the regs
to use a 3-way Wago with the ring mains connected to that rather than
the socket screw, and the single "output" connected to the screw
terminal of the ring socket together with the spur wire to the new
socket?

That would be equivalent to putting two sockets on a single spur
off the ring which is not allowed.

Indeed. Hadn't thought of that. What about a different layout:

Ring in to current socket screw - new wire from that screw to 3-way Wago
- one of the two remaining Wago connections to the other ring main, and
the final Wago connection to the new spur? That makes the Wago part of
the ring, and the spur is off that.

I wondered about doing the same just the other day...
