Can't there be an E on F2 or F3 on the throw to first?

According to MLB scoring rules, no.

Rule 9.12
(d) The official scorer shall not charge an error against:
(5) any fielder when a wild pitch or passed ball is scored.
(c) The official scorer shall not charge an error when the batter is awarded first base on four called balls, when the batter is awarded first base when touched by a pitched ball, or when the batter reaches first base as the result of a wild pitch or passed ball.

So according to MLB rules, the batter reached as the result of a wild pitch or passed ball. If the runner further advanced, then an error could be charged on a throw that allowed the runner to advance, but the definition above would not result in an error on a throw for the batter reaching first.
