For sure. We totally agree! Relevancy is key, but you don't need to push the irrelevant items to second or third pages. You can omit them entirely.
The point I am trying to make by saying "page length doesn't matter" is pretty much what you are saying. It comes down to personality, being able to stand out. Maybe it's a great idea to make the resume a 1000 pages long so when someone goes to print 1000 pages spit out of the printer that read "HIRE RYAN", "HIRE RYAN", "HIRE RYAN" , or maybe its something more clever like if you were to piece them together it says a message. That is if anyone even prints these resumes anymore.
FWIW I've probably interviewed with over 100 companies throughout my career. I've listened to the advice of "experts" and proven them wrong time and again.
Sure, everyone should do what works best for them. Listen to experts, but of course YMMV. I personally am not out to prove experts wrong, but to apply what's relevant for me.
