That's a slightly cynical way of looking at paginating a story over
several pages.
A less cynical way can be explained on the subject of web usability.
Usability experts will tell you that many users get rather daunted by
very long pages full of text, so the way round it is to split the
article over several pages.
Which is the correct answer in this case, well I don't know. However at
the BBC we've done the latter a few times.
