sample multi-page A4 onto A2 via Print to File with suitable file printer

Not clear this is an issue.

The Print to file... dialog will use properties of the os/DE provided "default"
printer.

But the print dialog allows selection and configuration of any printer
available to the os.

I rarely use the LO "Print to file.." and instead set one of any of multiple PS
or PDF print options as default.  

However if the system "default" printer is set to any ghostscript based
printing (e.g. gs & CutePDF Writer), or to the Microsoft print to PDF, or to
Adobe print to PDF (when Acrobat is installed) then the LO "Print to file..."
dialog will use it.

Configurations provided by any of those direct to file based printers when set
as system default respond correctly in the LO "Print to file..." dialog. You
can get multiple pages onto a single
