Doesn't matter. I wouldn't reject an applicant based on whether their resume has two pages or whether they try to squeeze a ton of info in 10pt font. Frankly, it wouldn't even affect my impression of the applicant in any way.
What matters is the contents. If you add a hobbies section to fill space, it'll make you look very junior, for example. A long education section or overly specific explanation of previous roles will have a similar effect.
If you have a ton of experience and need space to highlight experience w/ different stacks and/or team management aspects, then by all means, make a long resume to make your seniority show through. In that case, covering a broad number of aspects might reveal early that you're not a good fit for my particular needs, but it might also help pass your resume around internally to other teams where you could be a good fit.
Just don't BS it. It's pretty easy to catch buzzword-slinging w/ a phone or face-to-face screening.
