Just to weigh in, I would agree with Jeff in that 1 long page is much better from both a usability and SEO standpoint.
In my view, multiple pages should only exist if it is in the context of a hub page. For example, consider a page that is for slow cooker recipes. Instead of having hundreds of recipes on 1 page, it would make sense to have a sub-page for each recipe. Eg:
- Example.com/slow-cooker-recipes/
- example.com/slow-cooker-recipes/lamb-stew
- example.com/slow-cooker-recipes/chicken-casserole
