As far as I'm aware, no long distance footpaths in GB have been done
this way. There are pros and cons; and I guess lack of obvious JOSM
support is a con. Personnally, where I've mapped routes that have
extensions (e.g the Robin Hood Way*) I've added them to the main
relation, but other people may have done differently. The National
Byway cycling route (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/National_Byway)
is individually relationed; some other GB cycling routes tend to be
tagged rather than relationed.
If talk-gb is a bit quiet (and it often is) maybe ask on IRC on
#OSM-GB? You'll at least get a conversation there.
If so, how is that connection made? There is no apparent solution
when I open the Parent Relations or Child Relations tabs of the
Relation Editor in JOSM.
That sounds like an ideal question for help.openstreetmap.org; I've
certainly had useful JOSM help there.
Finally, it's probably worth mentioning Lonvia's hiking map which makes
it easy to visual this stuff:
