I did just get this clarinet last week. Is this flatness because it is new, or should I really consider getting a new barrel or mouthpiece? Over time, will the low notes raise in pitch?

This is a distinct possibility. If you were playing a different brand and model before, you might have been making subconscious adjustments in embouchure, etc. to play in tune. Then when you play the R-13, you play it the same way and this might be the cause of your pitch discrepancies. If you have a private teacher, work with your teacher to solve these. You might need a new mouthpiece if you are playing the one that came with the clarinet.
Or you just might need more embouchure development and breath support development. If you were playing a student clarinet before, these are often built to be easy to play and built a little sharp so the students won't be hideously flat.
Time and practice are likely to be the solution to your problem.
