Its not the case that rollapply is non-overlapping.  rollapply by
default calls the function on a stretch of data moving ahead by 1 each
time so it does overlap.  Also you can use by= to cause it to move
ahead by some other number if you wish.  Also by setting by=
appropriately you can get it to not overlap at all if you wish.  Also
depending on what your problem is you may be able to handle variations
in the function itself, e.g. removing NAs.

I suggest you give a small reproducible example showing what you have
and what you want in order to clarify.
