(Maybe you didn't remember that $T^{(n)}$ is notation for $\oplus_{i=1}^{n}T$?)

Take the statement $_RR\cong T^{(n)}$ and look at that exercise. Since the sum is direct, the last line of (1) says that $c(_RR)=\sum_{i=1}^n c(_RT)$. But the composition length of $_RT$ is $1$, therefore $_RR$ has composition length $n$.
