Since there is currently no ISO 15924 code element for Unifon, it's not a question of whether a variant subtag is the best way to go; it's the only way to go.

I'm sorry that I'm confused; is Michael saying that [en-Latn], [hup-Latn], etc. should be listed in the prefix fields for the variant [unifon]?
Or just [*-Latn]? (I don't think we have the wild card option though in registering prefixes) Normally [Latn] is the default script for these languages that are identified in the prefixes, right? But I suppose anyone could be written in another script.
([unifon] is  similar I would guess, and as you all have said, to [fonipa]; I'm not sure what Doug is saying but more prefix fields can be added later;  prefixes can also be removed later I understand, so long as you remove them all; also, for example, if you have registered a prefix [en-Latn], you can remove [Latn], making the prefix just [en]; [fonipa] as we registered it, has no prefix requirements)

Best,
