This was very recently discussed with respect to latex code, and
conditional pdf or svg export.  Could the following solution be adapted
to your R code blocks?

  http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-LaTeX.html#sec-4-3

e.g. something like the following,

#+Title: Conditional export

* Conditional Export Test
Here's a tree, exported to both html and pdf.

#+name: rnorm
#+headers: :exports results
#+headers: :results graphics
#+begin_src R :file (by-backend (latex "rnorm.pdf") (t "rnorm.png"))
  plot(rnorm(100), rnorm(100))
#+end_src

#+Caption: Normal random data.
#+RESULTS: rnorm
[[file:rnorm.png]]

* COMMENT setup
This function could be added to the user's =.emacs= init file.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent
  (setq org-babel-latex-htlatex "htlatex")
  (defmacro by-backend (&rest body)
    `(case (if (boundp 'backend) (org-export-backend-name backend) nil) ,@body))
#+end_src
