The sample rover may have to cover many kilometers depending on the accuracy or inaccuracy of the landing of the return lander.

I think braking into an initial parking orbit might help the accuracy of the 2020 MSR lander, but that might require a large braking rocketmotor package. That might shrink the actual lander to a size that would put further limits on what it can do.
