The 4 space indentation is a style recommendation (not a requirement), and if the only place that your code isn't meeting that recommendation is the YAML header then I can't imagine that any reviewer will worry too much about this. The review process is also a dialog between the package author and reviewer, so you have a chance to explain reasons why your code may be triggering BiocCheck messages, and if the explanation is reasonable (as this sounds) then it will probably be accepted by the reviewer.
