I might be wrong, but my understanding was that the rated IS with IBIS was a cumulative number of stops for BOTH lens IS + IBIS.

I do not believe that it is 7 stops of IBIS - in addition to the lens IS.

The bare lens is rated for 5 stops of IS (ie. on a RP for example), so adding IBIS (as in R6) seems to add a further 2 stops of IS, giving a total of 7 stops.

Yeah, you are right, I meant 7 stops of IS, not IBIS. 1/30s was without IS completely and 4s with lens IS and IBIS combined.

Did the lenses have built in IS, or was it all IBIS ?

IBIS only. But it's 2x crop sensor. I mean you have more space in body to move or rotate it to reduce shake.
