Starship Trooper by Yes
Part 1 Life Seeker
Part 2 Disillution
Part 3 Wurm
Wurm is my favorite part because of Chris Squire's awe-inspiring bass.
It is possibly the most awe-inspiring chill-inducing track ever recorded.

Awesome question. It's kind of tough, partially depending on what you count. On Francis the Mute, the song Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore is broken up into 4 tracks, but is really one song in movements. That one might be it, but there is a song that I may like more that needs no technicalities. The Decemberists have a track called the Tain, actually it's an e.p. that is only one track, 18 minutes long that is completely great. It's pretty much 5 songs in one and it is just amazingly put together.

Arcade Fire has four songs numbered Neighborhood #1 through #4, all with subtitles, and they are amazing, they are truly the best work of my favorite band. However, none of the songs have any similarities beside the name, so I don't know if this counts. If not:
The Island - The Decemberists
It's a single track, but it has three clearly defined parts (four if you count the intro).

I have to agree with the full 'Shine On ... {parts I - IX}'

Platinum
Incantations
Tubular Bells III
Hergest Ridge

Either:
"A Quick One While He's Away" by The Who (it proved that a largely serious band had a great sense of humour).
Or:
"Waltzing Matilda / "Street Hassle" / "Slip Away" by Lou Reed, another mini-opera but much darker than The Who song above. Worth hearing, it's on his album "Street Hassle".
The lyrics:
http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Street-Hassle-lyrics-Lou-Reed/9A420C61B6B1E48A482569880031E31F
The spoken part that goes:
"It's a song lots of people know.
It's a painful song
a little sad truth
but life's full of sad songs
penny for a wish
But wishin' won't make you a soldier.
With a pretty kiss for a pretty face
can't have its way
Y'know tramps like us, we were born to pay."
Was performed as a cameo by Bruce Springsteen (note the little nod to "Born To Run" in the last line : )

Karn Evil 9, all Immersions from 1-3. I can't believe that song drags out for half an hour!
