Resume length is a function of 3 things - 1) Discipline 2) Experience 3) Achievements
Discipline/Industry: In research/academia/medicine One lists all publications,research work/medical work. So a few pages on just journal publications is not unusual.
Experience: If one has moved around either the same company, or many Co. one needs to show that w.r.t progressive responsibilities etc.
Achievements: More relevant in management as well as results-oriented career-paths like Adv., Process re-engineering, Legal etc..
In some creative fields a portfolio is also a must - In fact, architects and advertising folks tend to have a hugh portfolios which are considered more important that a resume.
