It's honestly hard to say what would happen, because the WRBs are just really of weird in terms of gimmick items. Based what we can infer from the show so far:

There are 3 kinds of WRB.
-But you only need one to transform.
Legendary Creature books affect your right arm, Living Beasts affect your torso, Grand Stories affect your left arm.
-Except for when you're Kenzan and Slash, in that case your story book affects your entire body, and you get to use another story book to change your left arm.
Some times one book is closely tied to a SeiKen (i.e Gekido to Genbu, Suzune to Hansel and Gretel, Hayate to Sarutobi)
-Other times an entire Wonder Combo is dedicated to a sword (Crimson Dragon, Fantastic Lion, Golden Alangina).
Meanwhile there are some books don't have an element attached to them (Tortoise and the Hare, Momotaro, Princess Kaguya).
-But then some books technically have no element but very obviously pair with other books with elements (Jakkun, Bremen no Rock Band, 3 Pigs).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally speaking, I feel like they (Toei) could've mitigated the issue by imposing Saber's vertical OOOs design gimmick on all the suits in the begining. Like, pretend Buster, Slash, and Kenzan all initially had suits designed like Calibur. Where despite only using one book, he still has Right, Middle, and Left sections on his suit even though he's never gonna use them:

And then they could've bust out the actual suits we got for Kenzan, Buster, and Slash as upgrades like when Calibur obtains Ja-Ou Dragon. That way, they could establish this idea that all the power up books make the entire suit design based on one book.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But that huge tangent aside, yes the vine growing out of the Jackkun arm would essentially be a nod to how Genbu has a Serpent for a tail. But if the toy designers wanted to get super literal and actually give Buster another Divine Beast WRB... I suppose, maybe the Jörmungandr/The Midgard Serpent?

It's a creature form Norse mythology that was so enormous that it famously could wrap around the entire earth and bite it's tail.
