The "page" doesn't have to fit on a screen. Those markers serve as page delimiters, where each "page" covers one of the subjects covered by the entire file. So these markers are for easy movement between these parts of the file, not for displaying them in their entirety on the screen. Think about chapters in a text document -- these markers separate such "chapters", and Emacs offers commands to move to the Nth next or previous "chapter".
