You can only show one graphics page at once, but it can be set to any depth. Though I suppose it would be possible to display a few more "graphics pages" at different depths by using screen-sized backgrounds and sprites. It's possible to draw directly onto the background and sprite graphics source pages, but you can only get only two full 400x240 areas out of a 512x512 page, so that would give four more buffers that could be shown at once. You could get even more than that if you reduce the visual quality and scale up 256-pixel-wide areas or something. Or it may be possible to display a bunch of kanji on the text screen and write to the font page for a sixth displayable page, but it seems like it would be a real pain to map out the right string of kanji to display, since they don't seem to be organized by increasing Unicode values or anything.
