My experience regarding what you ask is that you may expect some of the "blacks" to later segregate to green-when-ripe, and GWR/Bicolor. (I'm not sure if I understand you accounting for that with "1 black is fixed (RRgfgf), 2 will be hetero for Red (Rr). All are fixed for gf.")

And you might expect later segregations to bicolors in the yellows, green-when-ripes, and some of the "blacks," especially if using Summertime Green, a line (and a few of its sister lines) in which I got several bicolors when growing them during the F3 thru F5 generations, back when. (Not sure if those genetics were fully segregated out in the final prodjuct, which I have not grown since it was introduced.)

Side note: Glad to see someone outcrossing Summertime Green to Mexico Midget as Summertime Green and its sister lines can use a bit of heatset capability and common disease resistances. Hope you eventually get some nice compact indeterminate cocktail size tomatoes and a few nice cherry dwarves.
