That won't work if any vector has fewer than 5 elements. Maybe

lapply(x, head, n=5)

would work?

Yes. Note that you can use endoapply() to preserve the class of the
original object:

  > endoapply(cvg, head, n=5)
  RleList of length 3
  $chr1
  integer-Rle of length 5 with 2 runs
    Lengths: 4 1
    Values : 1 2

  $chr2
  integer-Rle of length 5 with 4 runs
    Lengths: 1 1 1 2
    Values : 0 1 2 3

  $chr3
  integer-Rle of length 5 with 1 run
    Lengths: 5
    Values : 0

But lapply- or endoapply-based solutions are slower than a [ based
solution. Unfortunately the latter requires too much munging to get
the subscript right:

  ## parallel seq_len()
  pseq_len <- function(eltlens)
  {
    ans_skeleton <- PartitioningByWidth(eltlens)
    tmp <- relist(seq_len(sum(eltlens)), ans_skeleton)
    tmp - start(ans_skeleton) + 1L
  }

Then:

  > pseq_len(c(5, 1, 0, 2))
  IntegerList of length 4
  [[1]] 1 2 3 4 5
  [[2]] 1
  [[3]] integer(0)
  [[4]] 1 2

  > cvg[pseq_len(pmin(elementLengths(cvg), 5))]
  RleList of length 3
  $chr1
  integer-Rle of length 5 with 2 runs
    Lengths: 4 1
    Values : 1 2

  $chr2
  integer-Rle of length 5 with 4 runs
    Lengths: 1 1 1 2
    Values : 0 1 2 3

  $chr3
  integer-Rle of length 5 with 1 run
    Lengths: 5
    Values : 0
