Ryanair moved all its flights to Charleroi according to their own communication with the original flight times until at least the 29th.
You are right that Charleroi can not accommodate all flights for all airlines from Zaventem. But not all airlines are moving to Charleroi. Some are moving to other airports and others are cancelling. As an example, Brussels Airlines, the flagship carrier of Zaventem, is moving some flights to Antwerp and Liege, but none to Charleroi.
For Ryanair, moving everything to Charleroi makes a lot of sense because they already have a very strong presence there. For other carriers, this is not the case.
The schedule is rather well followed in Charleroi at the moment. You can follow the delays on the website of the airport (a bit slow at the moment). The major trouble will be getting in and out of the airport. I can confirm from a friend who arrived last night in the middle of the night that there are huge lines and very strict security checks, also on the road leading to the airport. Provide lots of time if you can. Also, only passengers are allowed inside the terminal building.
If your friends manage to get to the airport on time, I’d expect them to take off around the scheduled time.
