Not unless they say that's what they are doing. And no, R2 does not legally occupy 2B the instant R1 returned and touched the bag... the bag now "belongs" to R1. R2 is out when tagged - not for leaving early - for being the trail runner while 2 people occupy the same base.
I'm really not understand what's not clear nor why you're trying unsuccessfully to make this sound difficult when it's clearly not.
