Indeed it is! And since that is not the way that LibreOffice Writer 
behaves, the question is: why have you done it that way?

That depends on exactly how you have contrived to create the problem. 
Microsoft Word has some fancy ways of formatting a page number in a 
header or footer, some of which will not even save in its older .doc 
file format. Have you perhaps used one of those? In any case, it 
seems likely that the space available for your page numbers is too 
small, so that the text flows naturally to another line when 
necessary. You may well find that simply reducing the font size of 
the page numbers will solve the problem. Alternatively you may be 
able to expand the frame, table cell, or whatever is restricting the text.

In any case, it would be a matter of only a few moments to remove the 
existing page numbers (and perhaps the header or footer) and then 
re-create them using LibreOffice's own facilities.

I trust this helps.
