Iterating over pdfs that are more than 1 page long

In this playground, the first page of each data set is shown - Test Device and Test Device 2. I am having the issue of my pdfs getting cut off after the first page when using an array template. In the data for Test Device, "name": "item x" goes up to 60 but in templateArray, is cut off after 53 because the rest of the data is on a new page. How would we handle a situation where we are processing an array of data to create multipage pdfs and want to combine those all into one? - ie Test Device data in full, page break, Test Device 2 data in full?
We have multiple multi-page invoices and we are wanting JSReport to give us all of them in 1 document from an array datasource

I am not sure if I get it fully... However, you can dynamically render multiple templates and append them in the script.

const jsreport = require('jsreport-proxy')

async function afterRender (req, res) {
    const results = await Promise.all(
        req.data.devices.map(d => jsreport.render({
            template: { name: 'normalTemplate'},
            data: d
    })))
        
    let currentBuffer = results.shift().content
    for (const r of results) {
        currentBuffer = await jsreport.pdfUtils.append(currentBuffer, r.content)
    }

    res.content = currentBuffer
}
