Mountain ranges of continental length are usually made up of shorter, named ranges. I’d start by tagging the shorter ones.
For extremely long ranges we would neeed to use relations, as is done for the 5000km long “Interstate” motorways in the USA and long rivers in all countries. Unfortunately, most data users are not going to be able to use the whole linear relation now, but this is also a problem that needs to be solved for long roads and rivers.
