Does each socket on the multi-port versions need its own cable run?

Yes. Each RJ45 socket is normally the end of its own four-pair cable run.

A 4-way plate therefore represents four separate network runs, not one incoming cable somehow dividing itself behind the faceplate.

Can the installation cable leave the module in different directions? Does every port need its own run back to the patch panel or switch? Is the 7.41mm rear-cover opening the maximum cable diameter? Can I terminate shielded Ethernet cable onto this module?
