 Cormac McCarthy used punctuation well IMO. He just never really cared for certain types of punctuation and had a distinct way of writing, I would not say my experience of reading his books was that they were full of run-on sentences. If anything my impression is that his sentences tended towards being shorter than what you see for many other writers, because he would rather just write a full stop and do a new sentence instead of doing lots of commas and all that. Also that the language and content of those sentences was very considered and deliberate.
