It's normal to represent the individual physical routes as separate ways but not to add extra ways just because the location is wide. Ultimately we can add width information or area information to deal with these instances. Adding extra ways that are not really there will only confuse those using the data for routing etc. I think you will find that most maps (paper or online) draw the junction simplistically unless they are rendering an area.
