Our jobs run using *PrtWrap. We just had a job wrap. It created
around 50 small job logs (just over 400 pages each). The final job
log was 26k pages. I only had one job log wrap message.

Is that a statement of what is found in one of the joblogs, or what was found in DSPJOB JOB(jobnbr/jobuser/jobname) covering the start until the completion of the job?

So my question is why do I end up with 50 small job logs? I've seen
jobs where we had multiple wraps and had 100's of small job logs
before the final large job log.

Joblogs can be spooled for reasons other than just *PRTWRAP. Any request to DSPJOBLOG OUTPUT(*PRINT) suffices. Also the number of logged messages and the resulting spool file size is not fixed for a wrapped joblog. The space for messaging can be used up with very few or even very many messages which remain to be included in the logging.

Is there something I can do so in this case I end up with 2 job logs,
the first being generated before the wrap, and the latter being
everything that comes after? I'm on IBM i 7.1.

If the effect is truly from *PRTWRAP, then not while keeping that same job attribute. However there is an API to control job logging; to an output file. I have mentioned it a few times here in the past; I am too lazy to look it up presently.
