Opinions differ on this, but I think a punchy one page "espresso" version, is better than a more watered down two pager ("americano" or "cappucino") where you've had to add filler and spacing to pad it out to two pages. There are advantages and disadvantages of both styles of delivery, but advantages of a one pager include:

So I reckon a two pager is fine as a record of everything you've ever done (or later in your career when you have more to talk about), while the one pager is the customised version you tailor to specific jobs or roles you are targeting

I've tried to summarise some of the issues here, but theres no right or wrong answers, just lots of contradictory opinions!
