Swathi,
That's what you should do if you already exactly know the contents of 
each page (such as your standard main-frame reports where text fields 
are truncated and/or the page breaks are pre-calculated  when data 
wraps.) If there is a lot of free-form text and you want FOP to deal 
with text placement, then producing "sections" of pages that are less 
than 50 pages should be fine.
(Also, you should post your questions to the list rather than sending 
them directly to me.)
