It is not uncommon in non-fiction books for an index entry or subentry to run
from one page to the other. In this case the Oxford Guide to Style (OUP, 2005,
16.6.2 "Continuation") stipulates that the entry heading or subheading should
be repeated at the top of the new page, followed by a space, then "(cont.)":
especially when going from the bottom of a recto page to the top of a verso.

You can find examples in almost any non-fiction book index: the attached image
is from the index to the Oxford Guide to Style itself.
