I'm not sure this is in general a very good approach. Many people won't want to read something that is 50 pages long. But if one splits the same content up into 4 or 5 posts it will appear to be much more readable.
Perhaps, though many people prefer to scroll and search through a single page rather than having to jump across many pages. I use both formats on my site; I'm not sure which is better for my goals.
Do you have significant traffic? Can you do some sort of A/B test using some analytics software?
Multiple pages have the advantage of being easier to remember where one finished if one is forced to stop reading mid way.
This is one of the significant advantages of an ebook reader over a web browser (at least the current crop of both products). Firefox is supposed to keep my place in long web pages, but darned if it doesn't forget half the time.
