Does "millennia-long" really mean "multi-millenia"?

  In "China’s millenia-long history"? Yes, Chinese written history goes back about three thousand years, so it seems apt to say it is at least some/multiple millenia long. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_historiography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_historiography

    The accurate written King List dates back to > 3000 years but the archaeological history dates back long before that

  Millennia is already plural, so the multi is redundant.

  Milennia is the plural form of millennium. So multi-millennia is redundant
