There is a surprisingly heavily used landuse=highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/landuse%3Dhighway> for highway corridors, by analogy with landuse=railway. I would think it is mainly used for motorway corridors which can be considerably wider than the carriageways, and even then other landuse/natural tags may be used for parts of the area. See around Colwyn Bay <http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/PmD>.
However, in this case I think the primary landuse is agriculture, which works more easily if areas larger than a field are mapped at a time. I see little reason to add a landuse here: most use cases requiring tessellated landuse can either process highway by type perfectly adequately, or fill holes by use of buffering operations. I used some simple defaults for highway width back in 2011 which produced results very similar to data which had been explicitly mapped as areas.
