Unfortunately, there is no way to get smaller pieces of a large map.
The A1 size is a European paper size (well actually it is an ISO
standard). Below is a list given in an integral number of millimeters:

A0 841 x 1189
A1 594 x 841
A2 420 x 594
A3 297 x 420
A4 210 x 297

Tkined does not exactly use these formats (due to silly problems with
millimeter to pixel conversion etc.) I would suggest to get the
psutils package to resize the postscript dumps into a printable
format.
