The majority of unsealed outback roads that a really long, 4-trailer, road-train would be used on, have slow sweeping turns and corners cut for T-junctions and 4-way intersections.
When back on the sealed(bitumen) roads, they are separated into doubles or triples.
Known turn around loops exist to reverse direction, without de-coupling.
Note: trying to overtake a 4-trailer road train on a dusty road is usually only possible on a very wide, straight section of road or by contacting them on UHF radio(CB).
