Yes. It is a bit of a language problem in the manual. "The whole operation"
refers to the single whole operation, but it goes the same for each single
whole operation and every single URL that you make curl operate on will serve
as a "whole operation".

So yes, if you specify three URLs the maximum time the command line will run
will be the given -m period times three...

If you have ideas on how to improve the manual to make this more obvious then
please let us know!
