  I don't understand, provide standalone code reproducing the problem.

  That is allowed, nothing garantee in the SAX interface that you will get
a single callback per text node, this is a streamable interface, the client
level must be able to stream too for various reasons. If SAX2 is too hard
for you, don't use it, use the reader !

  I don't understand.

  Concatenate the callbacks if you can't process in a stream fashion.
