How many Spells can you put on a Scroll ??
Scrolls are one spell per page, up to three pages max rolled up as one scroll to fit in standard cases and scroll tubes.
Scrolls can be made of separate pages joined together by gum or other binders that can be modified between adventures to allow you to create custom combinations of your scrolls for easy reference.
Example: 3 healing spells on one scroll, another scroll might have your remove blindness, remove curse, and remove disease, and a third scroll could contain your true seeing, arcane eye, and analyze dweomer.
If any of those spells were used, you could just pull the pages apart and replace them with a fresh spell whenever you have the time to make another 3 spell scroll.

You are correct on the 8 1/2" x 11" size per spell for a scroll, but there is no limit on how many spells you want to put on the same scroll (it just gains about 1 foot in length per spell). You can also fit 3 scroll in a scroll case and retrieve them as a move action, but you can also fit more (no written limit, so GM's choice) and retrieve them as a full round action.
Anything else is house ruling.
Here is the PRd on Scrolls:
Physical Description: A scroll is a heavy sheet of fine vellum or high-quality paper. An area about 8-1/2 inches wide and 11 inches long is sufficient to hold one spell. The sheet is reinforced at the top and bottom with strips of leather slightly longer than the sheet is wide. A scroll holding more than one spell has the same width (about 8-1/2 inches) but is an extra foot or so long for each additional spell. Scrolls that hold three or more spells are usually fitted with reinforcing rods at each end rather than simple strips of leather. A scroll has AC 9, 1 hit point, hardness 0, and a break DC of 8.
To protect it from wrinkling or tearing, a scroll is rolled up from both ends to form a double cylinder. (This also helps the user unroll the scroll quickly.) The scroll is placed in a tube of ivory, jade, leather, metal, or wood. Most scroll cases are inscribed with magic symbols which often identify the owner or the spells stored on the scrolls inside. The symbols sometimes hide magic traps.
Note the bolded part and the fact there there i no limit. But a scroll could get unwieldy quickly. I would not want to mess with a 10'+ scroll to try to find the one that I need.

I hadn't considered the action economy behind multiple spells on a single scroll, but it's a good point.
I always crafted scrolls with multiple spells to reduce the creation time. The crafting rules are based on the price of the resulting item, not on the price of individual spells. So a scroll with three spells that adds up to 900 gp (for example) would only take one day to make. But if you created three separate scrolls with one spell each it would take three days.

This works under SRD/D&D, but doesn't work under Pathfinder. See last text paragraph under Creating Scrolls, p. 552. Scrolls: 1 spell per day, even if multiples would fit under 1000gp.
