That assertion is clearly false. Just because a Sprint is x weeks that does not mean that planning needs to focus exclusively on what you can do in x weeks. The x weeks is only relevant to establish a target for deliverables, but naturally those deliverables can and more often than not are indeed aligned with multi-sprint goals.
Heck, even in the Agile buzzword universe there is the concept of epics and spikes.
Agile does not mean the development process needs to be a 2 week circus where planners have the memory of a goldfish. It's a framework to get all stakeholders on the same page and establish operations to accommodate changes.
