Read out more for 'items-per-page' within form publisher developer guide or else search for the word 'pagination' in the forum.

'items-per-page' can be set to the number of items to be displayed on a page. In your case it would be 6. Also a suggestion make those 6 items within a container.. if it does not affect your requirements.

If you have set items-per-page attribute to 1 in templating.cfg for required datatype, it means each container in your DCT will be displayed on one page (in case of containers within container only outside container will be treated as a page).
You can add first 6 items in one container and next four items in another container which will make you DCT as 2 page DCT.

You can use IWDatacapture.gotoPage(2); to goto next page.

Hope this helps!

Note - I do not believe that FormAPI will work across pages of a DCT. I.e. if you have a selection field on the first page and want to use its value to modify the appearance of one or more of the fields on the second page - I don't think it will work.
