old_expat -- Unless you already have an overabundance of levels on the site, the examples you gave seem as if they'd work well if there was a main page with links to pages one level down. Your "more on page 2" idea, but with just enough about a topic on the main page to whet some interest, then a link to the rest of the article/information. The breadcrumb-type navigation WebmasterWorld uses at the top of these pages could help the reader keep track of what main section they're in.

Sometimes the need for more pages comes along without you planning for it. What was originally one page on my website is now a main page with links to "more" on 29 others. (And when I add a page of new info, I put a bright red "New!" next to its lead on the main page for about a month.)
