I don't think I've ever seen this situation! Per 11.6.1g, no guide dots are required for the row with the runover.

It actually seems wrong to put guide dots in the middle of an entry ... but I understand you are "leading" the reader to the next column. You might consider keying that one column entry so that it can stay on one braille line. For the facing tables format, putting guide dots within an entry may cause the reader some confusion. Another option would be to include a transcriber's note about what you've done. Something like: When a table entry has a runover, guide dots are inserted within the entry to lead the reader to the next column.
