Resume Length

Hello all, 

I am embarking on a new job search for a mid-level title at either an energy transition project developer (higher priority, more of a corporate/strategic finance role), or energy transition impact PE fund (lower priority, similar to my previous investments role). After nearly a decade of experience I'm wondering at one point should I start forsaking the 'single-page resume is gospel' philosophy and open up the resume to perhaps a second page? 

Reason I ask is that after having four jobs now, listing my deal experience from the most recent role occupies most of the space on the page, leaving little room to highlight interesting projects or deals from the previous roles that could still be relevant for a recruiter/hiring committee. 

Welcome any thoughts and happy to provide more context as appropriate.
