I think these are treated as verbatim... so what's in your buffer is
what you'll get in PDF. You might consider editing the block with C-c
' (Ctrl + C, then single quote). From there, when you hit a reasonable
point (<=80 characters), press return and Org will auto-indent things
pretty nicely, at least in my experience with R.

If you get odd results, perhaps check this thread, as I was having
issues with Org exporting the code blocks exactly as I'd typed them:

Tl;dr is that you should check the variables
org-src-preserve-indentation, and possibly the variable
indent-tabs-mode.
