It looks like I need to tell it when to add a page in the pdf output. Not sure the best way to do this yet. I've put report into the issue tracker on bugs.citrusdb.org. Maybe just AddPage after 20 line items, but that may just screw up the footer of the invoice on subsequent pages depending on how many items there are.
