    Have you considered using the Page Sequence Master Interleave (PSMI)
    semantic that I created for signalling and processing author-triggered
    changes in page geometry? It is described and available in a free resource
    downloaded in the XSL-FO section at the "Free resources" link in the
    marginalia on our home page noted below (I'd rather not publish the direct
    URL in the archives of the list as I may have to change where it is stored
    on my web site).

    The exemplar is the author-triggered change of page geometry for landscape
    tables in the middle of portrait content, but the PSMI semantic could
    easily be used in your situation where you decide a change in page geometry
    is required to accommodate different margins for a particular graphic.

    I hope this helps.
