That can be fixed.

I don't see that need. Be it a 200 page document or one with 400 pages,
people will only read the parts they are interested in. And if the page
numbers match the print range, I'm just fine with providing a single
download instead of risking that people might want to look things up on
the train and only notice then that they forgot to download the second
PDF.

People who must consider backwards compatibility might care.
