But the "man -s 5 proc" page is huge 4520 lines!

When I do this on those broken-out man pages:

    for f in $(man -s5 -k proc | perl -lne 'if (/^(proc[a-z_-]+) /) { print $1; }'); do man $f; done | wc -l

I get 5287 lines in total.

For comparison, this

    man -k perl | grep ^perl

reports 226 separate pages. And that separation has existed for a long
time.
