Hi Michael, I do not really see why you need it. Usually the selected area is determined by the required area, e.g. the dimensions of your track, less by the paper format.
If the selected area is less than a page, the whitespace is filled with the map. If the selected area is more than a page you either reduce the zoom level. Or you print it to several pages. Either way, your goal is to print the information you selected. I doubt anyone drops information, just for the sake to have a single page. Btw. if you have a large area and many pages simply show the map without a track or a route and you want to get rid of them, print into a PDF file. Now you can select what page to print.
