using rotated=1 is probably ok, but I would do the margin manually.
Note that a simple fittosize will not work, as we do not clip the
contents. Furthermore most of the time it's preferable to not rescale
the content at all.
I would try along the following modifications (untested):
def poster(c, paperformat, margin=0):
bbox = c.bbox()
margin_pt = unit.topt(margin)
paperwidth_pt = unit.topt(paperformat.width)
paperheight_pt = unit.topt(paperformat.height)
d = document.document()
for ix in range(int(math.ceil(bbox.width_pt()/
(paperwidth_pt-2*margin_pt)))):
for iy in range(int(math.ceil(bbox.height_pt()/
(paperheight_pt-2*margin_pt)))):
c2 = canvas.canvas()
c2.insert(c, [trafo.translate_pt(-bbox.llx_pt-
ix*(paperwidth_pt-2*margin_pt)+margin_pt,
-bbox.lly_pt-
iy*(paperheight_pt-2*margin_pt)+margin_pt)])
# you can also add some cut-marks
c2.stroke(path.rect(margin_pt, margin_pt,
paperwidth_pt-2*margin_pt, paperheight_pt-2*margin_pt))
p = document.page(c2, paperformat=paperformat, centered=0)
d.append(p)
d.writePDFfile()
