In the paper `u` is called R'', so I'd rename it as `rpp` (for R prime prime). Generally, the more the names in the code match the ones in the paper, the easier it becomes to read the code with the paper at hand.

Then you can then use `u` rather than `chunk`, but with a comment like "this corresponds to R'' L + N_0 in the paper".
