Random groups

Kaleuns. Recently I've encountered the need to better understand the campaign's randomized behavior.

For single missions, it seems "mission-layer" random groups are spawned during the first midnight, but it's also possible to get God Eye contacts at any time or location. Therefore, how do RG behave within a patrol? Can they spawn at an arbitrary time offset (ie before patrol commences)? Similarly, are they allowed to spawn mid-route (at the beginning), instead of their true initial location?
