 * WAY taller than humans, so far shortest one we seen being Opal

Garnet is the tallest person in Beach City. Given Sapphires small size, being the same height as Steven, if Ruby is around the same height, this helps boost the possibility of them being two halves of Garnet, with two tiny gems combining to form a slightly taller than average gem.

Another trait to think about is eyes. when Amythest and Pearl fused, Opal only had two eyes. But when Amythest and Garnet fused, Sugilite had five. So multiple limbs isn't necessarily the only contributing factor, multiple eyes can also be taken into account.
 * More than one pair of limbs

Garnet meets this qualification at having multiple body parts by having 3 eyes rather than just two.

Also take into account Gems have the ability to shape shift. It is quite possible Garnet is a fusion who simply makes her extra set of arms merge with her standard arms. Or, if Ruby and Saphire are both small Gems, their small statue would generate 4 limbs, but rather two standard sized limbs to account for their smaller standard bodies.
