OK, I've had a play.
$ pdftk Royal-Mail-Our-Prices-March-2017_0.pdf burst
.. created 16 separate single page PDFs (pg_0001.pdf up), each of which is 8.27" x 3.9" in dimension.
How do I cram multiple pg_xxxx onto a single A4?
So - here's an idea (which worked for me). Open the original PDF in any PDF viewer (I used the default Mate desktop Document Viewer) and resize the image on screen to something sensible. Then use a screenshot grabber to snap images of the actual bits you want and paste them into a document. Depending upon resolution you might get three or four images to a page.
Then print.
(Though actually, even though the Post Office document is a wierd size, I had no problem printing individual pages from Document Viewer to my printer.)
