I would say that's the beauty of semantic web annotation: you can mark up
only those things you want the semantic web agents to be aware of / deal
with. You can annotate both operations, but it does not matter if you leave
one out if it is not useful to your agents. And you are always free to
split up your markups and distribute them over several OWL-S annotations
(all pointing to the same WSDL file).

And certainly there is no need to artificially create a composite process
where it does not exist conceptually. In case of your example, i would just
create two atomic processes but no composite process. This should provide
sufficient information to agents (or matchmakers) to pick the operation
they are looking for.
