I've done further tweaking on the draft 2-column landscape page for
user guide PDFs. Font change, line spacing, different title page layout:

After I decided on landscape and optimising for onscreen reading, I
found Michele's idea for a cover design works much better than it did
on a portrait page... and the printing problem I identified earlier is
irrelevant.
The font change from Times New Roman to Bitstream Vera Serif follows
comments by the German team on the Authors list in February this year
that they were using all Bitstream fonts because they have the big
advantage of being delivered together with OOo and it looks the same
on every OS -- and Times New Roman isn't.
Regina Henschel suggested DejaVu instead, saying it also ships with
OOo. I haven't done much with DejaVu but from what I've seen it's a
bit nicer than Bitstream. Perhaps on my next fiddle with the proposed
template, I'll change everything to DejaVu.
Comments on all of this are welcome. The main thing, of course, is --
are you okay with changing to a design for PDF suitable for onscreen
reading?
