if you can't or don't want to use blender for whatever reason you may have, your best chances of improving the automatic lightmap unwrap creation is to have all vertices be connected to each other so that it is one big surface.
In the case of the TM2020 mesh modeller tho, the unwrap creation is so aggressive in saving space that you're better off splitting your turn up into smaller slices, with the vertices completely severed. Improving the chances that it keeps the smaller slices of the turn as one chunk on the UV
in your case you could try splitting it up into such sections
maybe it will keep each section as its own then
separating the sides from the upper and lower faces is probably also helping
