You can manually force page breaks (after the document is "finalized") by
inserting formatting instructions. See section 3.5.5 of the LyX User Guide.
You might also try the enumitem module (see section 3.6 of the PDF
documentation for the enumitem package), but I've struggled to get that to
work.
I am looking for a simple and automatic way. But thanks, Paul!

Fully automatic (not to mention simple) may not be feasible. What if you
have a zillion subitems under one main item (or a few really long
subitems)? Theoretically, you could put LaTeX in a position where your
subitem list exceeds a page length but it's not allowed to break up the
list. So, while I'm not a LaTeX guru, my guess is that the best you'll
be able to do with an "automatic" approach is to encourage, rather than
force, LaTeX to break after a sublist rather than during (or at the
start) of one.
I believe that's what the penalty options in the enumitem package are
intended to do, and I believe that you can set global values for those
penalties. So, if I'm right, you should just need to make two tweaks to
the document. Add the enumitem module in the document modules list, and
add a line of LaTeX code in the preamble setting your penalties. IF I'm
right (and IF you can get it to work).
Good luck with it,
Paul
