This may be overkill, but the manual documentclass sets some options
and then passes everything else to report.cls. So you can make a copy
of report.cls, say in
SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/doc/output/latex/en/tutorial
adding in lines
\DeclareOption{createspace}
{\setlength\paperheight {10in}%
\setlength\paperwidth {8in}}
Then at the top of SageTutorial.tex, use
\documentclass[createspace,10pt,english]{manual}
