Not really. Maybe in your dialect, but in ABN and most dialects, "eu" is 
definitely a diphtongue. Actually, now that I think of it, "ui" is not 
exactly pronounced [2H]. It's usually a bit lower on the first part: [9H]. 
And "eu" is then pronounced [2y]. I've heard "eu" pronounced as a single 
vowel, but only in dialects that monophtongise other diphtongues (like in 
Haags, the dialect of Den Haag, which monophongises pretty much every 
diphtongue :)) ).

><eeu> exists only in combination with a following <w>, in which case the
>combination <uw> is pronounced [w]. Thus, <eeuw> is pronounced [e:w].
Yep.

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
