Yes, this is correct. Creating multiple pages of PostScript output is as
simple as plotting on your display. Any command that would "erase" the
display on your screen before plotting will create another page of
PostScript output. There is no limit to the number of pages created. (To
manually "go to" the next page in a PostScript file, you can simply use
the cgErase command.)

The problem is converting that PostScript file into raster output.
ImageMagick is powerful, and it is possible it might be able to handle a
multipage PostScript file to do the conversion. But, I don't know how to
do that and, right now, I'm not likely to investigate it. I see other
people have tried to do this, with limited success:
