Generally, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through specifications. The graphic below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R5 C and M Typ 240.
Plainly, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon R5 C to give extra detail due to its extra 21 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern R5 C will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
