I don't think we can make R's free kick line 2.5 yards into the end zone, nor do I think we have rules support to make R's free kick line the goal line (thereby making the free kick lines 7.5 yards apart).
How about if there was a scrimmage kick from K's one. K punts a very short punt and R fair catches it at the 7½. Then R, now the new K, could elect a free kick also. And since the free kick lines are always 10 yards apart, then yes, the new R's line would be 2½ yards into the endzone.
