I can reliably reproduce the problem, and indeed waiting for some time (sleep
2) in between doesn't exhibit the problem.
This seems to be an upstream bug, would you mind filing it at
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice&format=guided
and sharing the link to it here? Thanks!

Title:
Libreoffice writer adds blank pages on multiple inputs
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When I have multiple .txt files on the command line and start
libreoffice writer, it adds (many) blank pages to the documents.
These blanks contain nothing at all and I have not figured out how to
remove them. But they are included when I print them.
I'm attaching a file on which this happens. It contains an anonymized
fragment of the original, repeates a number of times. I suggest you
create two copies, called perhaps junk1.txt and junk2.txt.
I use the command "soffice junk*" to load them into the writer, and I
get the extra blank pages.
If, however, I just do soffice junk1.txt, I get a document of the
correct size.
I can do that of course, but it is still an annoying and inconvenient
error for my workflow.
---
One hint to debugging: if I do this:
for i in junk1.txt junk2.txt
do
soffice $i &
done
I see the problem. If, however, I introduce a delay the problem does
not appear. Like so:
for i in junk1.txt junk2.txt
do
sleep 2
soffice $i &
done
