TeX and in particular pdftex and Context handle problems like
this nicely. Or you can convert the file to PostScript and use
PSUtil programs to set up signatures, in this case a single two page
signature, A4 on A3. Here is my script for taking a PostScript
file of 8.5 x 11 pages and printing them booklet style on 11 x17:
-----------------------------------------------------------

psbook $1.ps $1b.ps
echo 'psnup'
psnup -2 -ptabloid -Pletter $1b.ps $1p.ps
echo 'psselect'
psselect -o -r  $1p.ps $1o.ps
psselect -e -r  $1p.ps $1e.ps
#lpr $1o.ps
#echo 'switch paper'
#read x
#lpr $1e.ps
#rm $1p.ps $1e.ps $1o.ps $1b.ps
-------------------------------------------------

Unless you are also printing a booklet the first command is
superfluous. This is a Linux script.
