RJ is used to connect adverbs, and in various other, miscellaneous conjoined phrases and clauses.

she handled.v-d it quickly and.j-r gracefully
In the above example, the RJ links join the adverbs
"quickly" and "gracefully" to the central coordinator "and". The "and"
acts as a head-word, connecting as if it were an adverb itself:
joining with an MV link to the modified verb on the left.
The subtypes RJl, RJr, standing for "left" and "right", are used to maintain sequential ordering, which is important for comma-separated lists of adverbs; thus, for example:
+--------------MVr-------------+
| +----RJlv----+
| +RJlv+RJrv+ +---RJrv--+
| | | | | |
she handled.v-d it quickly , quietly and.j-r gracefully
Besides adverbs, the RJ link is used for various prepositional, relative and subordinate clauses:
Conjoined subordinate clauses use the RJ*c link:
+----------Cs---------+
| +------RJlc-----+
| +-Ss-+--Ox-+ +-RJrc+--Ss--+--Ox--+
| | | | | | | |
although he likes.v me and.j-r he respects.v me , he says he needs some privacy
Clauses that are not subordinate use the CC
link:
+-------------CC------------+
| +-----Opt----+ | +----Opt----+
+-Spx-+ +--Dmc--+ +-Wdc-+-Spx-+ +--Dmc-+
| | | | | | | | |
these are.v the snippers.n and.ij those are.v the cutters.n
Conjoined prepositional-object-relative phrases use the RJ*j link:
+--------Mj-------+
| +----RJlj---+-------Cs-------+
| +--Jw-+ +-RJrj-+-Jw-+ |
| | | | | | |
that is the man for.p whom and.j-r with whom Joe works
Conjoined "those" relative clauses use the RJ*r link:
+-------------------J--------------------+
| +----------------RJlr----------------+
| +------Bp-----+ | +----Bp---+
| +--R-+---RS---+-----Ou----+ +-Xd-+-RJrr-+--R-+-RS-+
| | | | | | | | | |
there are 10 kinds of people: those who understand.v binary.n-u , and.j-r those who don't .
Conjoined "that" use the RJ*t link:
+----------------TH----------------+
| +---------RJlt--------+
| +-Cet-+ +--RJrt--+-Cet-+
| | | | | |
I told.v-d him that.j-c I.p hated him and.j-r that.j-c I.p never wanted to see him again
