There are two solutions for this. The first is to use the plugboard to change how the authors are written. There is a thread here from last year started by GeoffR that discusses this. It includes the plugboard he used to solve this.
The other way is using the utilities plugin to fix the authors. If calibre shows the book as on the device, you can select it and use the "Update metadata in device database" to fix the authors. For what you want, the options to select are "Author" and "Use plugboard". That should fix the multiple authors and add your word count.

I've just tried with the plugin and it worked perfectly, it also does that to the authors that were like: "nickname (anothernickname)" or "nickname (anothernickname) & secondauthor"
I hadn't noticed but kobo wasn't seeing the parenthesis, too, so it fixed it.
