Andrew,

The problem you describe with multiple BACKs doesn't happen, actually.
The browser is not using CGI.HTTP_Referer to do its BACK work.  It has
its own internal mechanism that's smarter.  

I built this page to show that designer how he'd screwed up the image
sizes.  I found it still sitting on the server at 

http://lelandwest.com/testing/hopper.cfm

Go ahead and input something at Top, and steps 1-6.  Then press your
BACK button at the end of the process.  In IE 6, and NN 6.1 and 4.7x on
my dev box it properly steps back one stage at a time, regardless of the
fact that its stepping back inside the same template.  

If the decision were left up to me, I'd do one form; but that wasn't the
original poster's question.  He just wanted to break up his
simple-yet-long form.  No special processing in the middle.  Just a long
form.  There's a way to do that without any special coding while
delivering largely the same user experience.  It won't win you any
coding elegance awards, but it does the job as far as I can see.
