There is a very nice discussion on this very topic at http://objectmix.com/adobe-framemaker/218597-mixed-page-size-framemaker.html
Mixing page sizes in one template is not the way to go.

OK, I'll rephrase: it's the way that's consistent with the design philosophy behind FM. As I said, this is the way the creators of FM intended it to work. If you're correct, that's too bad. Because the people who prefer A don't understand FM's book/file paradigm, and they don't realize that putting the oversized page in a separate file is at least as easy as -- if not easier than -- ensuring that text reflow doesn't mess up their lovely mixed-sizes-in-one-file pagination. :-) Richard G.
