You can label your tracks as you please of course.

Don't use the default Reaper master track. Route everything (buses, tracks, etc) to your own master track instead. Then the mono tracks downstream of that. Use the Reaper master just for a hardware output bus. You would have the choice of routing either your 5.1 master track or from the mono tracks to the hardware master. The former being quicker. You can leave the outputs of the mono tracks unrouted since you're just using them for render targets.

The routing matrix will make de-routing from the hardware master and re-routing to your new 5.1 master track take about 5 seconds.

That will also improve performance because plugins on the hardware master is inefficient in Reaper and not recommended.
