Since, both times, she got E+ on the outbound, perhaps for future flights I should just book two one-ways??
You can either stop the PNR from splitting, or call to get your wife assigned E+ if she falls off your PNR.

You would need to call in and cancel the waitlist before checkin.
This. And if done this way, it will not affect the waitlist on the return.
