Dear Terry, You misunderstand the note. The problem is that your tar.gz is too large. The critical bit is: Size of tarball: 7528635 bytes
The CRAN repository policies state: "Packages should be of the minimum necessary size. Reasonable compression should be used for data (not just .rda files) and PDF documentation: CRAN will if necessary pass the latter through qpdf. As a general rule, neither data nor documentation should exceed 5MB (which covers several books). A CRAN package is not an appropriate way to distribute course notes, and authors will be asked to trim their documentation to a maximum of 5MB. Where a large amount of data is required (even after compression), consideration should be given to a separate data-only package which can be updated only rarely (since older versions of packages are archived in perpetuity)." But I agree with you that this is the one note that is very easy to overlook as it is kind of hidden after the name bit. Best, Henrik Am Fr., 25.
