I understand that you want to process RC elements unless there is a
preceding RC with the same value.  Is this correct?

If so, try this:

<xsl:template match="/RCDATA">
...
<xsl:for-each select="RCDATALINE">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="RC"/>
</xsl:for-each>
...
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="RC">
	<xsl:if test="not(preceding::RC[text()=current()/text()])">
		...
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Kind regards,
