The REPARSE_JDATA_BUFFER  is a kind of  the variable length structure.
The actual size of structure is determined by ReparseDataLength member.

Here is my trial.

# define sufficient size of structure.
class REPARSE_JDATA_BUFFER < FFI::Struct
    layout(
      :ReparseTag, :ulong,
      :ReparseDataLength, :ushort,
      :Reserved, :ushort,
      :SubstituteNameOffset, :ushort,
      :SubstituteNameLength, :ushort,
      :PrintNameOffset, :ushort,
      :PrintNameLength, :ushort,
      :PathBuffer, [:char, 1024]
    )
end

 # UTF-16LE encoded string
  target = "\\??\\".encode('UTF-16LE') + from_path

  rdb = REPARSE_JDATA_BUFFER.new
  rdb[:ReparseTag] = 2684354563 # IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT
  rdb[:ReparseDataLength] = target.bytesize + 12
  rdb[:Reserved] = 0
  rdb[:SubstituteNameOffset] = 0
  rdb[:SubstituteNameLength] = target.bytesize
  rdb[:PrintNameOffset] = target.bytesize + 2
  rdb[:PrintNameLength] = 0
  rdb[:PathBuffer]  = target
