Before I started researching for the roundabout-article I haven't seen such a 
monster myself. Technically speaking it is a roundabout, so it should be tagged 
as such. But it is split into segments, which are connected by 
mini-roundabouts. I don't think that any application out there could handle 
this. I'm not a friend of relations, but we would need one to collect all the 
parts - maybe the proposed junction-relation. Then still you are missing the 
information about the lanes, which are needed for precise routing directions. 
One can do this with turn:lanes, but I'm not sure if all the lane connections 
are trivial. If not, we would need the lane connectivity relation, which up to 
now was only discussed and isn't even proposed. That's a hell of work just for 
a "simple junction". Anyone brave enough to try? ;-)

You're sure about this? :-D
