This clearly is a misunderstanding of the interaction of the various layers of the OSI model, and specific wire encodings.

I’d suggest consulting a DSLAM vendor or network operator for more details of how AAL5 interacts with packet networks.  In my ancient history stashed in my brain, I recall you could even chain cells together destined to the same VPI,VCI but I never deployed that.  I feel dirty for having recalled knowledge of ATM switches and thinking about PNNI.
