I think that's not possible because of TeX. TeX limits any dimension to 2^30 scaled points (~5.75 m).
I just realized you can cheat just a little: \hsize=575cm \advance \hsize \hsize \message{\the\hsize} % reports 32720.66928pt ~ 11.5m A nice one for Pavel's new 'TeX surprises' in eurobachotex next year.
But that's only the TeX part. I don't know if dvi drivers can combine several TeX pages in one printer page infinitely. Possibly any of the PostScript tools?
DVI maybe, but my Acrobat Reader 7 silently drops the bottom off pages that are higher than 200in (508cm). Cheers, taco
