Issue
You have a Batch Campaign or Email Program setup where the amount of people qualified is more than what's listed under the Smart Campaign Person Restrictions limit (for more context, see
Enabling Person Restrictions for Smart Campaigns). Within that same program or campaign, you calculate that between the number of qualified people reduced by how many are blocked from processing puts the total count of records below the Person Restrictions for the instance. Would the campaign or email program still execute and process the appropriate leads that aren't blocked or does Marketo solely look at qualified members to determine if that's more than allowed based on Person Restrictions?

Solution
Yes, the campaign will still run as expected. Both Email Programs and Smart Campaigns effectively disqualify non-marketable people before processing records towards the Campaign Processing limit.
Example:
Your instance is setup to limit campaigns from processing more than 500k records in a given Smart Campaign. If you have 600k qualified for your Smart List (Audience) but 200k of the records are blocked, the campaign will still run as only 400k marketable people qualify to actually get processed through the campaign. Blocked records don't get processed through the campaign execution and, therefore, don't add or contribute to campaign processing limits.
