I bought a new SSD from Other World Computing. Unfortunately, now that I've got it installed, it's showing up as 14 individual disks, only one of which is actually of the advertised size:

Meanwhile, it shows up in the GUI Disk Utility as a single drive, as desired:

I can't think of a way to wipe the actual hardware, and reset how it appears to the OS; I can only reach individual disk-identifiers (/dev/disk4) with Disk Utility. I've already used the GUI Utility to re-partition it as a single, large empty space I don't know what else to do to clean this up.

Those are not part of your disk. They are fragments of memory of 512KB used as additional virtual disks by the OS in order for it to have a form or disk write access without affecting your original disks. The 5MB one was initially created and it was not enough, so the smaller ones were added.
