Breaking a series of steps out into one "parent" step and multiple
"child" steps is a great idea. That way, the user gets the basic idea
quick. If variations need to be discussed, those steps go in the
subtask.

We don't worry about how many
pages our steps take. We try to limit the number of steps it takes to
complete a task.
