I am a bit late to the thread, but two possibilities come to mind:

1) write a brew template as

#+name: brewtemp
#+begin_src latex 
   ... 
#end_src block

then call it as 

#+begin_src R :noweb yes :results output latex
 brew(text=
   <<brewtemp>>
     )
#+end_src
 
Brew allows loops and conditionals over both markup and code, which
allows you to choose or skip a sub-document as the R code dictates. If
the sub-document is of modest size and complexity, this is reasonably
easy and the brew markup will be easy to read.

2) Use ravel (at https://github.com/chasberry/orgmode-accessories/) to
export an org subtree as a knitr parent document in Rnw format (akin to
Sweave) and another org subtree as a knitr child document. The parent
document must call the child from within a code block to allow loops and
conditionals. Then run knitr. For more complicated sub-documents, this
might work better than building brew templates in latex src blocks as
editting the org structure and retooling R src blocks is easier (for me
at least) than re-organizing a lengthy latex src block with embedded
brew calls.
