Sounds like you have 2 issues here? 1. someone has created a way (probably from a GPS recorded walk) with no regard for the fact that some (or all) of the ways were already in OSM, and 2. how those ways are named?
Issue 1: I have come across this from time-to-time and it is a p-i-t-a fixing it up - but has to be done. This involves deleting the new way where a way already existed, creating new ones where they don't, then creating the route relation. Issue 2: Is also something I come across with the Munda Biddi Trail and Bibbulmun Track in WA. Original mappers of these ways and relations have in some cases named (for example) a forestry fire trail "Munda Biddi Trail" because the Munda Biddi uses the existing way. I don't believe this is correct and usually delete the name off the way. However, when a new piece of single-trail has been built just for the Munda Biddi, I believe it *is* correct to name that way Munda Biddi Trail.
