There is a program called VP Saddle that is intended to take PS output from
Ventura Publisher and print it side-by-side in appropriate order for saddle
stitiching. It might be usable for what you need. It costs less than $100.
Unfortunately, I don't have ordering information here. You can get an address
by calling PUBLISH! Magazine.
