It's certainly possible to have XSLT combine input from many source
documents, using the document() function. 1000 may start pushing your
memory limits, though, unless they're pretty small. (Some XSLT
processors have custom/nonstandard solutions to help with this sort of
processing; I know Xalan does.)

Making the XSL-FO document render through FOP as "1000 documents" should
just be a matter of making sure the page breaks occur in the right
places, right?

The documentation is in the W3C specifications:
<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#document>
<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#document>
If you want to load a lot of documents then you might also be interested
in extensions that save memory, see
<URL:http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/functions/discarddocument.html>
for instance.
