I was just there this evening. Blackfriars NR and Blackfriars tube station
are completely separate in terms of fares. This means that, if you wish to
walk the length of the station from the South Bank entrance, you have to
tap in. Once you get to the other side, you have to tap out again. Then
you have to tap in again to enter Blackfriars tube station. These will all
be charged as separate fares. There is no grace time from tapping out at
Brackfriars NR to Blackfriars tube station.

NO, it's a normal OSI between the gatelines.

In any case, the scenario you are suggesting is contrary to FCC's published
info, back in December, when the south entrance opened. Although they
mentioned that a 'penalty' would apply if you simply took a walk across the
river via the mainline platforms, they also explicitly stated that a
continuation by tube would be charged normally.

Others have been out and tested this, and proved that is indeed what
happens.
