The reason for this error is that the API will reject (with "precondition failed") any relation which contains a way where one of the nodes in that way is deleted. This "should" not happen (ways should never reference deleted nodes) but it does happen. The more members a relation has, the likelier it is to stumble across one such inconsistency. Please do not create relations of that size, it helps nobody. The way I usually fix this is by saving the relation XML to a file and then using "binary search" and the <-- --> operators to narrow down the area in the XML that contains the buggy way, until I find the (usually one) way which I can leave out and make everything work. There may be other options, perhaps it is possible to download all relation members in JOSM and check which is flagged "incomplete" afterwards.
