  I have tagged a river with riverbank and the rendering is spilling all over. Do I need just one superlong way or is ther another way to handle that? If I need to convert a large numger of smaller ways to a superway what is the best proceedure? Is it possible  to convert ways back to individual segment and nodes that are unconnected?

Osmarender, and therefore the tiles at home layer, expects the tag waterway=riverbank on a way which comprises both sides of a river.

The segments in the area you refer to are on in different ways for each side of the river.  Merge ways which are opposite each other and the tiles at home rendering should be OK.

Ways can be merged in JOSM.

You ask "Is it possible  to convert ways back to individual segment and nodes that are unconnected?", just delete the way.  This can also be done very easily in JOSM
