About long distance routes or theme routes routed over the node network: We build the longer routes as superroutes containing the node2node routes as sections (instead of the separate ways). In waymarkedtrails that works fine because they handle nested routes very cleverly. Which means other renderers and routers can do the same! It’s explained on the waymarkedtrails site https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/help/rendering/hierarchies
