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 !

    Reminds me of  a spat I had with a 2391 tutor a few years back he oft quoted "Not as the manufacturer intended!" , I of course countered with new ideas and inventions, and existing products used in different ways not specifically precluded as such. 

    Eeh, I can be an awkward beggar sometimes
