To further answer my own question I took a look at the calibre source code and saw that the logic to combine the author-sort values for ALL authors of a book exists in numerous places. Since it can't be changed easily to do what I want automatically, I will use a workaround.

Search mode: Regular Expression
Search for: & .+$
Replace with:
