As far as outputting the 5.5x8.5 pages, most print drivers will output one PDF page per sheet of paper, and not impose the two pages side by side. And if they do, they are liable to put pages 1-2 and 3-4 together, when you probably have designed 2-3 and 4-5 as spreads.

And if you build both 5.5x8.5 virtual pages on a single page, so it will print correctly ... you might as well just design to a horizontal letter page in the first place.
