I understand what you're saying, but there's two distinct topics in one
document.

The doc is only too long if it contains unnecessary material customers have
to wade through to get to the necessary information. Splitting such a doc
into two parts would make even more work for the customer.

If the content is all necessary, the person complaining that the doc is too
long doesn't understand the audience or is in some other way unqualified to
comment on the matter.
