These are good points. Would you rather write a document that is one page and will be viewed carefully, or a 3 page document that will be scanned? It seems a pretty easy decision, but generally screeners will want to spend the same amount of time viewing every resume and are unlikely to give a candidate who provides 6 pages three times the amount of viewing as they would someone who writes 2 pages.
