I think it would be preferable to add to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb-src https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu focal-cran40/ to get access to the source packages for R 4.0.2, and then do sudo apt update sudo apt build-dep r-base and sudo apt source -b r-base to build these on your arm cluster for your architecture. Of course you will need to rebuild after R releases to keep up to date.
