What Arnis said... 

Of course, that means text won't automatically flow around your foldout. It might also complicate numbering, if it comes in the middle of what would logically be a chapter. For example, since FM5.5 is pre-<$chapnum>, if you're using a footer variable to include the chapter number in your page numbering, you'll need some workaround in the portion of the chapter that comes *after* the foldout, since it won't have the chapter heading. 

In my shop, our final output is always converted to PDF for printing or electronic distribution, so here's what I do: I put a full-page anchored frame (or two, in the case of a double-sided book) in the main flow as a placeholder, work the foldout as a separate FM document not included in the book, and use Acrobat's Document>Replace Pages command to replace the placeholder with the actual foldout in the final product. 

Enjoy!
