Don't.

I consider myself a reasonably experienced C programmer, and I'd still
want to be sure I was brushed up and current before trying to write an
extension plugin.  Even in a well-planned environment, writing plugins
is on the heavy-duty end.

Seriously, just don't.  Hire someone.  Write it in pure Ruby.

Or... Budget 3-6 months to learn C well enough to do it competently.
