"...on that side" isn't very clear.  Maybe "...abutting that edge"...?

Also, margin boxes don't straddle the page border, so we need to subtract that out.

Maybe:

  | The containing block for the corner margin boxes is the rectangle
  | defined by the intersection of the two page margins meeting at
  | that corner. For all other margin boxes, the containing block is
  | the rectangle formed by the page margin area abutting that edge minus
  | the containing blocks of the adjacent corners' margin boxes minus the
  | sum of the widths of the two page borders orthogonal to this edge.

Does that work?

Best wishes,
