I noticed the question is very old. My answer is true for the these days FB jsSDK (2017) :)

Actually it's simpler than what predecessors described and somewhat intuitive. FB jsSDK it is an API itself and it is expected to be able to navigate through pages of the response by itself and using same means, no?

function getPosts(){
    FB.api('/me/posts', 'GET', {limit:250}, cbGetPosts);
}

function cbGetPosts(response){
    // do your stuff with response.data
    if(response && response.paging){
     FB.api(response.paging.next, cbGetPosts); // yep, is this simple
    }
}

Obviously this will request for next pages as long as there is a next key defined but s proving the concept.
