Have a look how this problem is solved in an-old.tmac.

In an-old.tmac, the requests `.ne' and `.bp' are redefined to increase
and set the page length as necessary (with `.pl'). Additionally, no
header and footer traps are used. Of course, this is suitable for
online-display only, not for paper output.
Do you want to a single large page?

Hmm. Shall the footnotes be converted to endnotes?
