The extension of the page length is workaround for
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63449>, which is a very old groff bug,
possibily dating back to groff 1.00 or beyond. It is fixed in groff
Git. But waiting for a groff release is not necessary; man-db man(1)
nowadays conceals diagnostic messages from the formatter and output
drivers.
