That should work.  I don't think we ever tried a list of more than 2
items; it probably also works if you just return this, as I would hope
anything not fitting is added to the list for the next page.
  [Box(P1),  Box(P1),  Box(P1)]

Return [].  This is the default implementation for a Flowable anyway.
I just slightly expanded the docstring in Flowable.split to mention this.
