it doesn’t. Any elements you like :)

The tag defines what is an element, for example a route is something “on top” of a highway (or railway, ferry etc), it is not representing the physical ways but their structure in a bigger context. A route relation with just one member may seem odd, but as you add more detail to the physical ways you will have to split them generally, and the route will be already there (as long as you just split the ways, it will remain ok).
