Assuming mm macros, .TP (top of page) and .BS/BE (bottom block) are
what I use for multi-line page headers/footers.  You can redefine
the TP macro to be whatever you need:

.de TP
spacing, line length etc instructions
.tl \" first three part title
.tl \" second three part title
..

Similarly:

.BS
spacing, font etc instructions
.tl \" first three part footer
.tl \" second three part footer
.BE

see groff_mm(7) for minimal instructions.
