I think the following is succinct and correct:
* the notation for a whole measure rest in a time signature of m/n,
e.g., 6/8 or 5/4 or even 4/4,is: R1*m/n
(the fraction m/n can be reduced to lowest terms, and if the result
is 1, it can be eliminated.)
* for a sequence of k whole measure rests in a row, the notation is:
R1*m/n*k
Examples: * a whole measure rest in \time 6/8 is R1*6/8, or,
equivalently, R1*3/4
* a sequence of 3 whole rests in \time 6/8 is R1*6/8*3
