The thing is, English doesn’t work all that well in CV format. That said, if you’re planning to use that voicebank for anything more than some short mid-song English phrases, I’d strongly recommend that you simply make a dedicated English voicebank, or that you record a CVVC-type voicebank with extra phonemes. All you’d have to do is make your own notation for the addition samples and add them to your reclist, it’s really not that hard. Yes, you can make a Japanese CV-style with extra samples for English. Otherwise, good luck with your UTAU! All the best.

It’ll probably be more worth it in the long run and plus you’ll learn how to use UTAU with more than just CV banks. If you intend to ONLY make the UTAU sing in English with your CV bank however, it might be worth it to just bite the bullet and look for an English VCCV reclist. I’m sure there’s tutorials out there for forcing Teto’s CV to do English from before her English bank’s release otherwise, there might be some similar tutorials for Vocaloid, as I know people have made Miku sing in English prior to the release of Miku English. Otherwise, you can just record L-syllables and English R-syllables and then not have to worry about the tapped-R, but using the CV bank and reclist, you’d still have to input something like “ba-ru” instead of ball, y’know? If you don’t know how to make that sound, it’s sort of like a softer D tapped against the roof of your mouth. Japanese’s tapped-R can work for both L and R because it’s nothing like an American R, it’s somewhere inbetween, so if you don’t mind your voicebank having an accent, just using that tapped-R syllable is fine. There’s also no L sound unless you want to record those extra syllables, so you can use R syllables in place of it.
For words or sounds ending in consonants other than n (which can stand on its own in Japanese) try using the syllable with that consonant ending in either U or O, which I think tends to be the rule with borrowed-from-English words in Japanese.
Assuming you’re using a Japanese reclist (because I don’t know if there even are English CV voicebanks out there) you’d have to screw around with consonant velocity and note length to get some of English’s more complicated syllables to sound right, or else it’ll probably just sound like unintelligible nonsense.
