It is true, for the good reason that one page should describe one function,
or one closely grouped set of functions. There are workarounds (use the
list markup possibilities) but you should be aware that many of the foramts
to which .Rd can be translated (e.g. Sd, Ssgm) will not work correctly.
Best to accept that the restriction has a good reason.
