I would have thought that you could "fourth" and "fifth" out appeal R2 and R1 and nullify both of their runs. However, I don't see why an appeal on a batter other than R1 would cancel the run for R1 unless the appeal for the third out happened before she crossed the plate or prevented the BR from safely reaching 1B (i.e. an appeal of the BR missing 1B).
However, I have to read 5.5.C to agree with the OP:
No run shall be scored if a “fourth out” is the result of an appeal of a base missed
or left to soon on a runner who has scored.
