because IMHO that would mean that there is one island where in this
example in the real world there are actually two. I would simply

Probably use a multipolygon with place=island. For example, if I were
mapping a swamp with a single name but multiple pieces, I'd use a

The problem with that is that a multipolygon relation is for a single
entity that may be broken down into several pieces.
A group of islands (or an archipelago) is not a single island broken
down into several land pieces. It is just that: a group of islands.
So we need a different way of tagging
What about place=archipelago (or place=islands) used with either the
