Each hub has one ethernet port out... so not really unless you wanted to put a hub next to each device.

Unfortunately it does not. Only one port to connect to modem, one port for ethernet. You can buy an ethernet switch/port to help solve this problem.

Each unit has 1 out port. You would need to have one of your hard wired connections located to another part of the house where you place one of the other routers or get some sort of a switch that can connect to the single out port and give you additional connections.

I have not tested this but each unit has 1 in RJ45 port and 1 out. I think worst case you would have to buy a hub or switch to give you the two ports you need for your network. That said the short answer to your question is "no", there is only one port out from the Google units.

It really depends on how many hubs you purchase. Each hub has 2 ethernet ports, one port is reserved for incoming connections and the other is for outgoing connections.

If you purchase a single point, then the short answer is No.
~ In order to connect multiple out devices, you will need to purchase a multiport switch. These are relatively cheap. I linked one for you to consider below.
Basically you will need to connect the out port from the google hub to an in port on the switch, then connect your wired devices to switch.

If you purchase multiple hubs, then you can connect a single device to the out port but depending on how many devices you wish to connect this option will get extremely expensive.
