No, AFAIK. Not easily at least.

+ is a bit awkward.
Space would be more logical as separator.
Though I am wondering if people are using noweb reference names with
spaces in the wild.

There is built-in `split-string'.

I do not like the idea of using tags.
What we might do is:
1. Leave :noweb-ref's current behavior of overwriting the parent
parameter values.
2. Add a new :noweb-ref+ parameter to accumulate multiple noweb
reference names. The relevant function to modify is
`org-babel-merge-params'
