If you're using a regex route (you appear to be) then you can do
"page(/.*)" to get the entire url after "/page". This doesn't break it
into parts, but that should be easy to do at the application level (if
it's actually required).

I have run into a similar problem in a different context, the routing
doesn't seem to deal very well with situations where there are an
unknown number of parts.
