Would a Klymit Insulated Hammock V pad (the orange one with wings) fit in a DL WBRR? I'm assuming the wings would have to folded in. Would it work?

Find your inner hammock.
I think it will work, but because of those wings, it might work better in a gathered end hammock than in the RR. As I remember, the RR is under 30" wide at your waist; it looks like that pad is 78" x 47" (LxW). That length is good (it may stick out a little at both ends), but a pad without wings might work better. Not sure I'd want the wings folded in or not. Also, some prefer a pad with horizontal tubes, to widen your sleeping area. Can you take it back, or swap it for one without wings, if its not comfortable for you?
The blue foam pads work really well in the DL WBRR
When I first started hanging I used the Klymit Status V without the wings in my DL WBRR and it worked fine. I also put a military casualty blanket (folded) in the sleeve with the pad.
Can't say anything about the fit, but I tried using a Klymit Insulated Static V Lite in the Ridgerunner and had to switch to a self-inflating pad in the middle of the night because I started shivering. The temperature can't have dropped below 66°. On the ground I got a bit more warmth, although not enough for my needs. My guess is, that the design only works well enough when the air under the pad cannot move.
The wings aren’t going to do well in a RR. I use a 30” wide klymit pad in a RR and it’s pretty awesome.
