>Each record's data, the way it is formatted, cannot fit on one page and spans 2 pages with the possibility of overflowing onto 3.

yeah, now its a little bit clear, actually the same thing can be achieved by creating 1 report only.
whenever u put any field in report, right click and click on properties, here apart from doing other things, there are 3 options stretch with band.... there if u will select it the field will automatically expand, if the width is more then the specified size.
hope this helps, If u face any other problems then reply me...
