If you have the problem that you cannot download the entire area because
the route is too long, the XAPI can save your day.

You will need two XAPI requests, one for route=... and one for name=...
Then you can merge the layers in JOSM.

(Btw. there is an easy way to get the bbox parameters for XAPI requests:
Select the area in the slippy map of the download dialog. Then go to the
second tab and simply copy the list of coordinates...)

Why not write some, when you have mastered the high art of
relations? :)
