If an information "stretches" over several pages (or in extreme cases even chapters in for example a novel) the range of pages (or chapters) must be given in the citation. An example for this would be events that stretch over a period of time and can not be pinpointed to an exact paragraph or sentence in a source. Note however that on no account this practice is allowed to be abused to avoid the need for citations for details that can be pinpointed to an exact part of the source.
