--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Confirmed. An OLE linked multi-page PDF lays down a view port of just the first
page. Actually just a portion of the first page of the OLE.

A selection of that OLE does open the corresponding application, the current LO
soffice.bin sdraw module. That tracks with how other OLE like smath formulas
are handled. IIRC the dimensions provided for the inserted OLE object can not
be directly adjusted, e.g. see also bug 99792 for linked OLE Formulas. 

But an ability to extend view port of the OLE object to extent of a frame or
into  columns might be appealing.

Alternatively, not an OLE, the pdfium based insert as image works at page
bounds, but currently for first page only. But I think that establishes an
image frame constraint by page margins and scaling h.width of the resulting
image.

Unclear about viability of doing OLE of the other noted document formats.
