PS5 games have better compression and can sometimes be smaller due to the architecture of the PS5 and less need for stopgaps in the data of the game. The PS5 discs if I’m not mistaken also hold a bit more data than the PS4 discs. It’s not that big of a shock.
There use to be games that came on multiple discs as far back as the 90s. Mostly PC games, but then later down the line PS1 games came on multiple discs, FF7 and MGS1 being a few examples off the top of my head.
But this is just a case of one for installing the data you need, if you aren’t gonna download it I assume, and the other only to play with. I’m not exactly sure what’s on the game disc, but I assume it’s just the rest of the data that doesn’t need to be installed on the system to run. Even if you install a huge chunk of data on to said system

Even the download sizes of these games are usually bigger for the PS4 versions
Reminds me back in the day when I first played Final Fantasy 8. “Woah four discs? Cool!”
Now it’s just like “I thought this was why Blu-ray was invented? To keep from having this happen.”

compression techniques better on ps5
ps4 discs hold 50gb of data and ps5 discs 100gb ea plus ps5 has better compression. That’s why
Ps5 has ultra HD Blu Ray discs
PS4 has normal Blu Ray discs
Ps4 discs are old gen bluray disc and can hold 50gb. Ps5 are new gen and can gold 100gb
