Hi Mike,
What about trying the Drawing toolbar and inserting a text frame - that can be
rotated from the properties list?

Mike,
If I understand correctly, your suggestion addresses how to simulate a
double-wide page at the center, using two frames. But that's not my problem.
There is no problem having two different page sizes. That is just a matter of
defining two page styles, then switching to the double-wide page style for just
the middle of the booklet.
My problem is simply how to rotate a frame - I can't recall how to do that in
LO. [I'm beginning to wonder if I ever did that with Writer; maybe it was with
WordPerfect.] If you know how to rotate a frame in Writer, I would be grateful
to know that.

I'm no expert in Libre Office, so please forgive me if I don't fully understand
your situation. My (perhaps very amateur approach) was to suggest that you
treat the centerfold you need by creating two full-page frames, one for the
left-hand page and one for the right-hand page. Put your text into each frame
by creating the left page's text and then rotating it t90 degrees to butt it
up with the text created for the right=hand page, text that you also rotated 90
degrees. Then, move the respective text blocks so they come close to the gutter
edges of both pages and appear to butt together.
Somewhere, I read about how to create a landscape-page spread in a document
that otherwise is made up of portrait pages, but I can't just now remember
where I saw that information. I think it was done by inserting two pages, both
with landscape orientation, into your existing portrait orientation document.
