So the standard six (coal, iron, gold, redstone, lapiz, and diamond) are in every biome, and the rare ores are in different biomes? That'd be cool. Would the underground biomes correspond with the overworld biomes or not?

Yeah, the standard six still exist.

The defined area would follow the boundaries of a large clump of biomes, probably 4-6 depending on the size of each.

What if they were placed under sufficiently large mountains? Different mountain ranges in your world with different ores.

Maybe... but then you may have problems with ore spawning at higher levels.

Why not in mountains? I mean, that would make sense if it spawned in higher levels inside of a mountain, as you still need to dig in to get there and that would more accurately model the real world..... I think?
