Lori, 

I think that the ppd has a max value that you cannot go above.  Playing around w/ custom sizes on my immagesetter showed a max length of 22 inches. 

I opened my ppd in notepad and found that the "maxmeasure value" was 1057  1062. I did a little math w/ known paper sizes and found that this number (I don't know what it means millimeters, centemeters, who knows) divided by 72 gives you the size in inches.  So my max for that machine would be 14.68 inches x 22.25 inches. 

If you open your ppd in notepad you may be able to figure out the max on your machine. 

It looks to me like it's the printers ppd, not pagemaker, causing the problem, but that is by know means a informed opinion.
