Like most of the Selenium WebDriver bindings, if you only specify "element", you will only return the first found element. However, if you specify "elements" in your method, it will return an array of elements found.

So your code should be:

page = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//td[@class="mceIframeContainer mceFirst mceLast"]')[1]

See http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/py/webdriver_remote/selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver.html?highlight=find_element_by_xpath#selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver.WebDriver.find_elements_by_xpath
