Here's a shock, I disagree. It is exactly where it belongs, under 7-2-B&C-EFFECT. Why, you ask? Okay, so you really didn't, but I shall explain regardless.
The comment applies to ANY runner, not just the most recent batter.
B1 gets a single, B4 gets a single and advances R1 to 3B. B2 singles and you once again have runners at the corners.
B3 hits into a force out on R2 and R4 holds at 3B.
Here is where this rule applies to the batting order (7.2). R4, the batter due up according to 7.2.B is on 3B. 7.2.B&C.EFFECT-4 provides direction allowing R4 to be skipped without penalty and the BO move onto B5.
