What you have is a way with _two_ nodes: start and end node. The first
node has an addr:housenumber=25 tag, the last node =25c. The last node
could also be addr:housenumber=25f. The number of houses represented by
an interpolation way doesn't have anything to do with the number of
nodes in the way.
