We get this layout:
line1 line4
line3 line6
line7 line9
line3 line8
line4 line9
This will give us two MultiColumnFragementainerGroup objects, one for each page. The height of the first one will be 2em*3 = 6em (the remaining space on that page), while the height of second one will be 2em*2 = 4em, which is what we get when we balance the remaining 4 lines.
Another way of ending up in a nested fragmentation context situation, is to put a multicol container inside another multicol container. Each multicol container establishes their own flow thread.
Example with nested multicol
.multicol { -webkit-columns:2; -webkit-column-gap:1em; line-height:2em; }
#outer { width:19em; padding:5px; background:blue; }

LayoutMultiColumnSet (anonymous) 0x26aae9824170
The LayoutMultiColumnSet of the outer multicol container (0x26aae9824010) has one row (fragmentainer group) with two columns.
The LayoutMultiColumnSet of the inner multicol container (0x26aae9824170) has two rows (fragmentainer groups) with two columns each.
All 10 lines are inside the inner multicol, so they are laid out in the inner flow thread.
The first inner fragmentainer group holds 6 lines, so it takes up 6*2em = 12em of space in the flow thread. Its height in the coordinate space of the outer flow thread is 6em.
The second inner fragmentainer group holds 4 lines, so it takes up 4*2em = 8em in the flow thread. Its height in the outer flow thread is 4em.
The total height of the inner flow thread is 12em+8em = 20em.
The height of the inner multicol container in the coordinate space of the outer flow thread is the combined height of its fragmentainer groups - 6em+4em = 10em.
The outer multicol container has two columns, with room for one inner fragmentainer group in each.
Its content height (i.e. excluding the padding) needs to be 6em to fit everything.
