Hussain,
First, my DITA to DOCX conversion is not customized, other than specifying
parameter values.
Second, before I send samples, please let me know if your test included
multiple glossary terms documented as one term per file or if you used one file
with multiple terms. I used multiple files.
Thank you,
Julie

Sorry but I really don't see how this could happen.
I used XMLmind XSLUtility v6.1 to test this (sorry but v5.x is no longer
supported) and it worked fine for me. No spurious page breaks in the generated
DOCX.
May be you have customized the conversion of DITA to DOCX and your
customization gets in the way.
If this is not the case, please send me a sample DITA document showing the
problem and I'll try to help you.
My very simple test case is attached to this email. Also contains the generated
PDF and DOCX.
I used this bookmap for my test:
---
<!DOCTYPE bookmap PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA BookMap//EN"
"bookmap.dtd">
<bookmap>
<title>Test</title>
<frontmatter>
<booklists>
<toc/>
</booklists>
</frontmatter>
<chapter href="ch1.dita"/>
<appendix href="a1.dita"/>
<backmatter>
<topicref href="glossary.dita"/>
</backmatter>
</bookmap>

I used this glossgroup for my test:
---
<!DOCTYPE glossgroup PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Glossary Group//EN"
"glossgroup.dtd">
<glossgroup id="glossary">
<title>Glossary</title>
<glossentry id="glossary-2">
<glossterm>Term #1</glossterm>
<glossdef>Definition of term #1.</glossdef>
</glossentry>
<glossentry id="glossary-3">
<glossterm>Term #2</glossterm>
<glossdef>Definition of term #2.</glossdef>
</glossentry>
<glossentry id="glossary-4">
<glossterm>Term #3</glossterm>
<glossdef>Definition of term #3.</glossdef>
</glossentry>
</glossgroup>
