First off, why do you think that this is a problem?

You block should be written such that it produces the number of output
items that is requested.  It sounds like the block is doing that.

There are many 100's of examples of blocks in the code base.
If you haven't already, please read:

It's somewhat out of date, but the fundamentals are correct.
