Firstly, let me just say that I've already read this wiki page: https://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_file...i-Episodes but it doesn't help my situation.

Let's just make up stuff and say:
Season name: Red
Episode 1 name: Orange
Episode 2 name: Blue
Episode 3 name: Yellow
Episode 4 name: Green (part 1)
Episode 5 name: Green (part 2)

If episode 1 is a normal single video file then my name for it would be `Red S01E01 - Orange.avi` note that there are spaces either side of the hyphen

Say episode 2 and 3 are a single video file. The wiki page doesn't exactly say how format this given my preference of spacing around the hyphen so I've gone with this: `Red S01E02 - Blue - S01E03 - Yellow.avi`

Say episode 4 and 5 are a single video file but they are part 1 and 2 of the same episode and share the same file name then I've gone with `Red S01E04 - S01E05 - Green.avi`

Is this the best way to name things given my preference of having spaces around the hyphen? Do the spaces even matter?

Don't make it difficult, follow the 'rules' as far as the season/episode numbering go : TVshowname - S01E02E03 - Blue+Yellow.avi

But that's an entirely different pattern not even mentioned on the wiki page. The closest the wiki has is this `name s01e01-episode1.title-s01e02-episode2.title.ext`

Which is the same as what I have except I have spaces before and after each of the hyphens.

The spaces won't matter. I have several multi-episode-in-one-file files name as "Series Name - s01e02-03 - Blue + Yellow.mkv". (Just don't put a space around the hyphen between the 02-03 in the example above)

I don't use the "name s01e01-episode1.title-s01e02-episode2.title.ext" format myself, but I don't see why it would be unhappy with spaces in between the hyphens and episode titles in there either.
