The REUTL FOUR ALPHA is inbound to TGO on R163
which is a 90 degree left turn on reaching TGO. If you're prepared to make a 90 degree turn transitioning at the IAF from STAR to initial approach segment, why wouldn't you make a 154 degree turn from the hold to the initial approach segment?
Good question. Could it be that 90 degrees is the limit?
3 INITIAL APPROACH SEGMENT
3.1 GENERAL
3.1.1 Purpose
3.1.1.1 The initial approach segment begins
at the initial approach fix (IAF) and ends at the intermediate
fix (IF). In the initial approach, the aircraft has
left the en-route structure and is manoeuvring to enter
the intermediate approach segment.
. . . .
3.1.2 Maximum angle of interception of
initial approach segment
Normally track guidance is provided along the initial
approach segment to the IF, with a maximum angle
of interception of:
a. 90° for a precision approach; and
b. 120° for a non-precision approach.

348 (inbound to IAF) - 254 (outbound after IAF) = 89 degrees.
