I think it counters your first assumption though(I.E, Orion Boom Tubed out before he was hit by the star system-blast.)As you can see from the scans you posted, Orion was at the center of the blast and when Orion boom-tubed from the battle, the star system was already destroyed.
Orion said, "We made it A4." What is that meant to imply if not that he escaped the blast?

And the writer states that destruction was caused by the collision of Orion and the Golem, I.E, Orion should be at the range of the star system-blast if not the center, no?
No. Not necessarily. We don't know exactly where he was when the explosion took place. He could've been attempting to out-pace the blast before opening the Boom Tube.

Plus, what Orion tried to escape isn't ncessarily is the star system-blast, but rahter, the Omega Beams.
That's not what the Boom Tube scene indicates.

As for how much force Orion contributed, aside from the fact that the writer states it's the collision of the force between Orion and Golem.
I don't get it. What do you think this proves? They clashed, and their clash destroyed the star system. It never suggested that they were equal, in fact, Orion was at a clear disadvantage in terms of power, and would've died after he was hit by the Omega Beams if not for the intervention of Hal and Kyle. And if that was clear enough, just before he stabs himself he suggests that the next charge of Omega Beams will kill him.

In the story, Kyle specifically stopped Orion to engage the Golem in fear of Orion would destrory a star system again....while Hal was fighting the Golem without causing any star system levels desctrution
So I feel assuming the force Orion contributed is not notable a flimsy assumption to say the least
The writer even specifies that Orion didn't know that would happen. How can that be the case if he supposedly released enough energy to raze a star system?
Chances are it was caused some esoteric reaction with the Nth Metal Golem or the energies it channeled.
Now to be clear, we don't know what happened. And that's the issue: Taking an extremely ambiguous scene and then forcing an interpreation onto it.
