I don't know -- create a new relation type specifically for this? As far as I can tell, the fact that putting multiple border ways in a multipolygon relation may have worked is due to the implementation of multipolygons in the renderers. But this isn't what the relation is meant to do. There could be a general purpose relation for collecting several ways that meet at the ends into one virtual longer way. Say type=long_way, with roles part_1,...,part_n (relation members aren't ordered). And if this forest has a hole, put the long_way relation in a multipolygon relation.
