I cannot see awarding R2 3rd because of his boneheaded baserunning. I have the BR out when tagged on second base.
I know it is a different play but the principle is the sane.
When two runners are between first and second and the ball is thrown out of play, we award the lead runner two bases but the trail runner would only get one.
By what rule could you advance R2 to third? What were the base coaches doing? Just bad baserunning.
