Citing same paper too many times

I am limited to a set number of pages for a research paper I am writing. One trick that I thought of was to find large 'review' papers that talk about a lot of things.

For instance:

Bubble sort [1] is a great tool for sorting. 
So is merge sort [1] and also quick sort [1].
Make sure to understand the type of data you 
have, because certain algorithms can take 
advantage of that [1].


[1] Comparing different sorting algorithms - Peter

This is a bit of an exaggeration but - would my paper be negatively reviewed if I cited a single paper too many times? Again, I am really pressed for space.

Note: I am new to writing btw
