The section mentioned is part of the SW Coast Path so it should be relation
that is part of a suggested super relation.

After spotting the the most recent problem with the SW Coast Path, I'd
decided to follow the suggested idea of creating a super relation for this
route.  The official website breaks the whole route down into 52 sections
so I was thinking of using those. Would 52 relations be too many?

I may have given the idea some thought but I didnt get far because it
seemed a huge bit of work. I meant to do a bit of research to see if there
was an easy way of splitting this massive relation but havent got round to
it. So I may as well ask now - Is there an easy way to split this massive
relation? I'd thought about about trying to downloading with Josm, then
copy and pasting sections of the route to a new layers then adding the
relation data to this clean bit of route?
