Thanks for your reply, although I'm not quite sure I follow you.

I am printing a set of 17 parts for my jazz orchestra. Or I might be 
printing just a replacement part for one of the 17 instruments. Each of 
the 17 parts is one print job and might be 1,2,3,4 sides of A4 which I 
want to tape together as spreads, preferably using 2 sheets of A3 
instead of four sheets of A4 for a 4-page piano part.

Therefore to print a set of parts out for a new piece I need 17 print 
jobs and to process each one separately to do the 2-up business (as 
necessary).

I can't "gather together" any pages.
