That is one aspect am looking at (independent of the org file question)
at the moment, to make the R code more configurable. My approach is to
a) have it in a emacs string variables which can be customized, or
b) in an R file which is loaded and used instead of the definition in
the variable. If you are interested, please see my org [1] and ess [2]
which, at the moment, have to be used together, as I am "outsourcing"
the loading at the moment to ESS.
Concerning putting them in an org file, I don't see a real advantage
here, unless the ob-R.el is also in an org file.

I am not thinking about having the org files used for actual running
org, but rather as a tool to write the code. The workflow would be then:
1) in the org file, write the code for ob-R.el including documentation
2) tangle the file to ob-R.el
3) debug ob-R.el - in R
4) untangle the edits back into the ob-R.org file
5) done
So the tools for debugging would be still working on the .el file.
