Sure. Obviously this document is not Rec-quality and was not advertised
as such. It says R elements can contain multiple PV elements, but not
that they can't contain other R elements. However, PV elements cannot
contain R elements: that is specified implicitly, since the content has
to be a string. (This means that XML literals aren't expressible in RPV.)

To understand it in full. Partial understanding of RPV is possible with only
a partial understanding of the model.

It's trivial.
1) Express your RDF using the Basic Serialization Syntax described in M&S
Section 2.2.1. This is done by undoing the transformations described in
M&S 2.2.2, as well as the container syntax of 3.2. (The URI-pattern
containers of 3.4 cannot be transformed this way, but they are being dropped
from RDF.)
2) Then map as follows:
rdf:Description -> RPV:R
rdf:about -> RPV:r
the element type of a property element -> express as a URI in RPV:p
rdf:resource -> RPV:v
rdf:bagID -> RPV:rpv
