Hi,

It is far simpler to do the following:

1) Create logical pages as needed.

2) Create new doc with space for 4 logical pages per document.

3) Create a second layer in the new doc.

4) Go Page > Import > Import the logical pages. 

5) After importing, select all > position the content >  then move the 
content to the first layer. Why ? This avoids object collision when 
importing.

This will a: avoid  loss of precision with PDF and b: require far less 
memory and time to do the final PDF export.
