I think these are treated as verbatim... so what's in your buffer is what you'll get in PDF. You might consider editing the block with C-c ' (Ctrl + C, then single quote). From there, when you hit a reasonable point (<=80 characters), press return and Org will auto-indent things pretty nicely, at least in my experience with R. If you get odd results, perhaps check this thread, as I was having issues with Org exporting the code blocks exactly as I'd typed them: - https://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg81100.html Tl;dr is that you should check the variables org-src-preserve-indentation, and possibly the variable indent-tabs-mode.
