I wouldn't say it's _never_ OK to have a multi-page résumé, but as a hiring manager/interviewer I do strongly prefer one-pagers.
I never penalize or reject candidates based on having a multi-page résumé, but I tend to see a strong correlation between candidates with great one-page résumés and great written communication skills. It shows that they've spent the time to consider what's relevant to the hiring manager/recruiter/etc.
IMO, keep the résumé short and sweet, and stick to the highlights, with a heavier emphasis on more recent experience. If you really want to dive into more detail on something, write a cover letter tailored to the position/company you're applying for.
