Is there a setting in the EOS RP camera which can completely disable the AF, equivalent to sliding the switch on the 70-200mm lens? Some posts refer to this in the Shooting settings 7 and 8 but I don't see an MF/AF setting there. (I understand how to use all the AF settings in 7, 8 to enable MF during AF mode).

The menu option to set the lens focus mode only applies to RF lenses without the AF/MF switch. Since your lens already has the AF/MF switch those options won't appear in the menu.

Greetings,
I would strongly suggest you read the manual for your camera. 👀

Put the mode dial to "M" and move the AF / MF switch on the lens to MF. The camera will then manual focus.
I'm not sure what shooting settings 7 , 8 is? Maybe this is a menu option. Can you clarify.
Maybe I'm not understanding your question?
