As a matter of fact, the number of elites at each level increases significantly as you work down the list. If R>0, that tells me that there's probably a line of people ahead of you waiting to be upgraded.
I don't want to sound rude, but I want to understand the situation. If my flight shows R = 4 now (i.e. < 3 days prior to departure), then the PP, Plats/1K and Gold/1Ps should have cleared by now (since PP/Plat/1K clear 5 days prior and 1P/Gold clear 3 days prior). Even if R>0 and there's a PP in front of me, the PP won't clear because there's a line? Don't CO start clearing the upgrades until R=0?
2) Yes I know there are Plats/PP/1Ks at the same elite level as me!
