Do you mean that @Report &c don't have @Paper* parameters and only
@DocumentLayout has?  Than yes, this is correct.  The page layout is
defined in @DocumentLayout and it's there where page parameters belong
to.

Yes.  Lout generates a potentially infinite list of pages inside
@Document/@Report/@Book.  And @Text/@Section/@Chapter just supply
contents for this page list.  So you cannot change page parameters
midstream because the pages are already there.  Troff and TeX has
built-in notion of pages, Lout does NOT, you (@DocumentLayout)
*define* what a page is and how does it look like.

In your particular case will @Rotate help?

Gee, it's usually vice versa for me!

Anyway, it's not an advocacy list.  Let's close this.
