These additional ways are not duplicates, as they do not follow the same path
as the main river. If you delete the shorter ways then the islands will
disappear from the map.
There are two possible methods of mapping these islands.
1) the simple method, which has been used in your example, where the main river
is drawn as one way, and the path of the river round an island is drawn as
another way.
2) use areas and relations, here the main outside of the river would be
drawn as one way, the island would be drawn as another way, and both would be
added to a multipolygon relation.

Subject: [Talk-ht] River ways : How to treat Duplicates
Before deleting duplicate ways for rivers, I want your advice.
For Example, Les Trois Rivières, way=49375347 is the main river way. But we
also find few ways that trace a second route around islands :
ways 48392811, 48392826, 48475427, 48475510, 48475442, 48474646, 48476419,
48474401, 48477201, 48474784, 48475251.
Should these segments be considered as duplicates and deleted
