Depends?
Warning - my interpretation!
SADDLE = low point between two high points (mountains), it does not
descend near the level of the adjacent valleys.
PASS =A gap in a range of mountains or hills permitting easier passage
from one side to the other, it descends near the level of the adjacent
valleys.
This gives me a difference between 'pass' and 'saddle',otherwise they
appear to be the same?
If it were a 'pass' then that would make the range into two separate ways.
If it is a saddle then it does not break the range, but forms part of it.
Some mountain ranges do not have crest along their entire length .. yet
they are a mountain range along the entire length.

Yes, that makes sense to me

Thanks!
I think it’s reasonable to map a mountain range as a linear way when this
can follow a continuous series of ridge crests. But a mountain range that
is split in 2 by a valley should be considered 2 local features that
share
a name.
Yep, makes sense.
For this reason, large and complex mountains ranges, like the Rocky
Mountains, cannot be mapped as a single linear or area feature: they
consist of many smaller ranges which spread over a wide area, with vague
boundaries.
It's not mapping the entire range as such, but would is_in work here?
