I think you can set the scaling and page orientation in ghostscript so
that the current single page requires multiple sheets to print. Also
tell ghostscript that you only want the Nth page, or use other PS
utilities to snatch the desired pages.

Or you could do the same sort of thing using a GUI PDF viewer to print
to file.
