The default layout uses multiple pages for 3 or more conditioning
variables. If you want to get them on a single page, you need to
specify the layout as c(ncol, nrow), e.g.,

densityplot(~y| f1 + f2 + s3, data=mydata, layout = c(5, 4))

Alternatively, if you just want to specify the number of panels per
page, and want the details to be computed automatically (as with one
conditioning variable), you can do

densityplot(~y| f1 + f2 + s3, data=mydata, layout = c(0, 20))

?xyplot has details.
