If the eruv measurement ends at the end of a city and the whole city counts as four cubits, may the person walk the full width of the city and receive 2000 cubits north and south beyond the city even if the city is wider than his normal four-cubit corridor?

Synopsis

The Rema rules that when the city is fully subsumed as four cubits, the person may walk the entire city width and has 2000 cubits north and south beyond the city. Several Acharonim dispute this, arguing Rabbeinu Yonatan's source actually supports the opposite.
