For Ruby, one explanation is that she can turn into rose petals. This allows her to literally split herself into three and also reach far greater speeds due to the form she takes. There is one reason why this doesn't work - We've seen Ruby moving fast without turning into rose petals; she only leaves a trail of them behind her.

I, for one, don't like the idea of there being a primary and secondary Semblance and this is why the Schnee hereditary Semblance annoyed me somewhat. I'm wondering if the summoning isn't a Semblance at all but an external power from the force that Ozpin described as 'magic'.
