Yeah, they're not in the api.php help, but they are in the docs at 
MW.org. I'll work on putting a sentence or two about this in the api.php 
help as well.

Currently, no. It's probably technically possible, but you'd still get 
your pages ordered by namespace first, then title (i.e. the same order 
as with separate requests) and paging through multiple namespaces screws 
up all kinds of wonderful features like apprefix= and apfrom=.
