As far as protocol for patriarcial names goes, can it skip a generation and then continue?

Traditionally you don't skip a generation, but you can still continue it. There's no law against it!
My baby is taking my husband's first name, but not middle. We will still think of him as a junior when he really isn't since the middle name is different.

Absolutely it can. The II and all is just about being the next one in line.

I would not do this only bc people are going to think his father was the II.

I think so. I know a "third" whose father was not the "second" or "junior."

The son would be the third and the grandson would be the fourth

Yes, it's possible.

I would think it would start at "I" again.
