Technically, I think you're wrong in calling them 'phonemes'. The 'ny' bit can clearly be divided into smaller units of sound: /n/ and /i/. Maybe the word you're looking for is 'feet'? I'm not hip to the whole syllable thing.

Very crudely (can't be arsed unicoding myself up some proper IPA symbols), the word 'anyone' would be represented as something like this, with the period symbol representing syllable breaks: /e.ni.wun/

I'd totally love to hear how you woudl say 'anyone' as a two syllable word. I'm trying really hard, but it don't sound like English to me. :(

You're right- which is so totally not a surprise, Liz.

Well, it's my job to be right about that stuff. So, no extra points for me. :p
