In the manga, Light begs Ryuk, to kill everyone in that room. So let's say,
Ryuk would have killed the Japanese Task Force and the SPK. Would Ryuk die
after he killed them?

Would Ryuk have died if he had killed the SPK?


Doubt it. Ryuk did not love light (which is the requirement for dying). Ryuk
was just hanging around for the entertainment. Even if he killed everyone in
the room it was probably to extend his entertainment. He however would never
do this because he was impartial to light and had explained this to him in the
very beginning. Whenever he did help light it was because he didn't want to be
further bothered. In this case saving light would have caused him more work.

Rule LVIII:

1) By manipulating the death of a human that has influence over another
human's life, that human's original life span can sometimes be lengthened.

2) If a god of death intentionally does the above manipulation to effectively
lengthen a human's life span, the god of death will die, but even if a human
does the same, the human will not die.

This seems pretty explicit to me. Note that this seems to refer to killing
with the death note but if a god of death kills by any other means he is given
an "Extreme Level" punishment and then is executed.
