Long time since I've been working with OpenVPN and routed interfaces but
I always used the dynamic approach to setup the needed interfaces. You can
create the interfaces for static tunnels with e.g.
openvpn --mktun --dev tun0
Maybe there's also a way to do this via udev rules but I'm not sure how
viable that is. I think I would bring them up with the physical interface
they use via /etc/network/interface running 'up openvpn...'
