If you run Scribus, you get into a dialog box named "New
Document".
In that dialog, the third choice in the area called
"Document Layout" is "3-Fold".

As you can see on its icon, the third page is not wrapped
into the other two: it is what we call in France a "pli
accordéon" ("accordion fold" if you translate it straight).
In that kind of folding, the 3 folds are of the exact same size.
So this is exactly what you need, doesn't it?

Depends on the type of fold...  :)
It's true for what we call here a "portfolio fold". Sorry
for I don't know the exact translation in English.
