Wago connectors with too many wires

Branta

The electrician who wired my (new) home takes the live feed to a light switch in each room (rather than to the rose).  Thus each room has a light switch back box with four neutrals commoned in a WAGO 2273 connector (feed in, feed onward, wiring to luminaire, wiring to spots).  I'm guessing the spots were a surprise to him as he seems only to have had a stock of 3-way WAGO connectors.  He's consistently managed to wedge four 1mmsq wires into a 3-way WAGO 2273.

I know this is wrong, the "extra" wire just can't be clamped like the WAGO design intended.  What is driving me nuts is that nowhere can I find it written down that it is wrong !

    sorry I agree totally the marking on that box is actually quite clear, just I had started typing my reply at about 10 o'clock and then got interrupted without pressing 'reply' so had not read the later answers when I came back and did so. But  in short its not quite the right sort of connector.
