Thanks for clearing
that up, I was afraid I had missed a specific
option/button, as OpenDCP seems to be able to handle those (albeit only
using the command line).
A few days ago, I had the opportunity to speak to the technician which
issued the warning - hi warning didn't reach me directly, but was retold
by a non-technical employee of the festival, who didn't understand the
problem himself.
The technician had no problem with the single-reel DCPs - he just was
under the impression that the four packages contained /*one*/ movie,
rather than four self-contained episodes/short-films. That's why he was
raising concerns, because that would be a rather unusual way to package
a feature-length film, making problems at the transitional points where
a seamless projection can't be guaranteed. The packages themselves were
fine. ;-)

Furthermore,
is there any possibility to create multi-reel DCP
packages via DCP-o-matic, or to convert the single-reel packages into
multi-reel using open-source tools?
I'm afraid DCP-o-matic doesn't have that feature, yet ... although I
haven't experienced any problems with long reels on DCPs.
