[R] Parallel processes collapse into one

This is outside my area.
However, my suggestion is that you provide a *minimal reproducible* example.
I think you're more likely to get responses.

Also note that there's an R mailing list for high performance computing,
however, it doesn't appear to be very active, so I'm not sure which is the
best mailing list to use.
Maybe someone else can comment on this...?
