Most probably your problem is not a matter of the size of the document. OOo does not have a problem with large documents. I assume that your problem is what we call a "layout loop". Sometimes complex formatting can lead to an object (a paragraph, a frame, a graphic etc.) moving around between two pages in each iteration step of the layouter. To avoid an endless formatting loop OOo breaks this loop at some time. It is possible that the result of the procedure can leave to different results depending on the device of the action done before. So it is possible that layouting the document for printing, for the screen or for PDF leads to slightly different layouts. If we could identify the particular problem in your document I'm pretty sure that the problem would persist if you removed most of the other pages that are not part of the problem. The best thing would be that you created an issue and attached your document to it (if possible).
