Ah so! Thanks for clearing this up.
So I will bore out a blank R8 to fit a parrallel shank ER20 holder. Fit a drive pin and spring to bias the holder at 50% of the slot. Then use the square ER20 tapping collets.
Seems like a plan

Sounds like a plan!
Ensure your materials are hard enough and well lubricated enough to avoid galling, making the pin square with soft corners and using a Moly lube on the sliding areas will help,

Floating tap holders, aka Tension/Compression Tap Holders are the perfect solution when you need to tap a hole. Bridging the synchronization gap between toolhodler and Z-axis feed, the spring mechanism compensates for the minute acceleration.
