When can your resume be two pages?

Before getting accepted to an MBA my resume was already tight (3 jobs, each with a few deals on them, plus education section). Now I have to add another education section for MBA as well as another section for personal angel investments (relevant as I apply for VC). Can I go to two pages?

It is typically 1 page for every 10 years of experience, but go to 1.5 - 2 if you feel you have had notable experiences.
