I don't think of them as lanes, so I wouldn't use some :lanes-tag. I
thought that there is already a tag, that I simply put on the road for

obviously not the case and it is not possible with highway=emergency_bay.
When tagged as node I lose the length. Tagging as separate way seem
counter-intuitive - there is no separate road. Tagging as area seems...
strange ;-)
Well, we already have the approved feature
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dpassing_place for
features of a very similar physical nature but for a different purpose.
The consistent solution is to use highway=emergency_bay on nodes in the
same way as for passing places.
And why do you want that kind of details? If it is tagged as
emergency_bay you know it is big enough for a broken down vehicle. That
is the only information you really need if you are having car problems.
And adding an attribute to a short section of highway just results in
further (in my opinion unnecessary) fragmentation of highways. If you
really want to add the length you could use maxlength=* for the maximum
vehicle length fitting in the bay. That would also be easier for data
consumers to process.
