You are ignoring the context in which the phrase appears.  It says "... may
require that OFF is a multiple of the page size," and "... may require that
ADDR is a multiple of the page size".  To say that an address is a multiple
of the page size is exactly the same thing as saying that the address is
aligned to the page size.  If it said, "... must be aligned to a multiple
of the page size," or "... must be a multiple of a multiple of the page
size," then your interpretation would make sense.
