The packets are more crucial, really - they are the individual units of the 
actual codec. The pages provide additional information on top of that - 
framing, checksums, stream id, etc. 

Yes, those segment values represent 4 packets with those lengths (in bytes). 
This assumes it's not a continued page, though.
