Did you look for promising options in 'ess-default-style' and
'ess-own-style-list'? Note that I've not played around with these, but
this looks like the preferences that control indentation, and it looks
pretty flexible. I'd be surprised if there is not some combination of
settings that produces the desired behavior (or something close too
it).
