Can anyone, hopefully including a few bicyclists, clarify the right of way responsibilities here?
Thank you.

I cycle but not in a group.
I believe group riding is done for safety and practicality. Imagine the opposite - 10 bicycles interleaved with 10 cars in a roundabout - dangerous and chaotic.
Group riding is also practical. Again, imagine if 10 cyclists yielded and entered the roundabout one at a time - the drivers behind them would be furious at the delay.
A group of 10, single-file cyclists in a roundabout is no worse than a semi or large truck/trailer combo.
Yield at the entrance to the roundabout and let the group pass.
FL supports group riding up to 10 cyclists - see other replies here for details.
