I'm slightly surprised auto-fill is on by default in .R buffers.
Emacs does not even turn on auto-fill in text buffers, so I'm suprised
why a programming language mode would turn it on by default. Either
we should offer an easy way for it to turn off in programming modes,
or remove the code [Ess-core where is auto-fill turned on, and is it
intentional?] and then do what the Emacs FAQ suggests for text modes:

How do I turn on `auto-fill-mode' by default?
=============================================
To turn on `auto-fill-mode' just once for one buffer, use `M-x
auto-fill-mode'.
To turn it on for every buffer in a certain mode, you must use the
hook for that mode. For example, to turn on `auto-fill' mode for all
text buffers, including the following in your `.emacs' file:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
If you want `auto-fill' mode on in all major modes, do this:
(setq-default auto-fill-function 'do-auto-fill)
