I would form a new variable eps, such that R = eps G, eliminate R from the expression, so that the expression becomes a function of eps, and then make a power series expansion in eps about eps == 0, using the command Series or SeriesCoefficient. Then I would keep the first non-vanishing term, and maybe some more terms, depending on the problem. At the end I might back-substitute R again.
