I did so, but it has no practical effect on \Sexpr{} (which I'm
interested in, and failed to mention in the original e-mail).

With
<<echo=FALSE>>=
options(digits=4)
@

, the following
<<>>=
tmp <- pi
tmp
@

will yield
tmp <- pi
tmp
[1] 3.142


, while
\Sexpr{tmp}

will yield
3.14159265358979


and
\Sexpr{format(tmp)}

will yield
3.142

Right, \Sexpr does a simple as.character() on its argument. You might be able to override as.character() for numeric data, but that's probably a bad idea. So format(tmp) is probably the best choice.
