The scanning projects seem to be pretty uniformly bad at this (Google Books does the same thing) and I don't think OpenLibrary has a way to record multi-volume works. It is a somewhat complex modeling issue because the logical volume to physical volume mapping can change over time (i.e. what was volumes 1-3 is later published in a single physical volume).
