Adding 11x17 Master Page into a file in a book

[Baruch Brodersen]

It actually can be done, that is generating mixed page sizes in the final
PDF directly from FrameMaker.
The basic concept is to make all  master pages 17x11 and use ps text box
code to trim the final output of non-17x11 pages to 8x11. (postscript marker
/cropbox)
You could use that as your inside spread or as a foldout. If you want double
sided pages, then you have to figure out a way to sequence two 8x11 pages on
the  back of your 17x11 insdie spread.
