This seems a question for the ESS-help list.
But you should be using Emacs customization these days: I have in my
.emacs
'(c-basic-offset 4)
'(c-default-style "bsd")
in custom-set-variables, and that is what the 'R Internals' manual
says for Emacs >= 21. (You can set that from the 'Customize Emacs'
menu item, Programming, Languages, C group.)

into my .emacs file. IIRC, back in 2005 it gave me a basic indentation of 4
in C (good), but only 2 in R (not so good, but I fixed it with the aid of
this excellent list). But now it gives me a basic indentation of eight (8!)
in C code. This is not what I want. I think I saw somewhere that the bsd
standard actually has changed from four to eight recently (but I cannot find
it now).
Two points given that the standard really has changed: (i) The text in "R
coding standards" should be changed accordingly.
It has been (long ago):
Alternatively, (for @acronym{GNU} Emacs 21 or later),
use customization to set the @code{c-default-style} to @code{"bsd"}
and @code{c-basic-offset} to @code{4}.)
(ii) How do I get back to a
basic indentation of 4 in C and R code?
Follow the above.
