I have no problem with writing a style file which changes the paper format.
For instance, save the following in ~/.TeXmacs/packages/test.ts :

<TeXmacs|1.0.7.2>

<style|<tuple|source|std-pattern>>

<\body>
<assign|page-type|user>

<assign|page-width|11in>

<assign|page-height|17in>

<assign|page-odd|0.125in>

<assign|page-even|0.125in>

<assign|page-right|0.125in>

<assign|page-top|0.125in>

<assign|page-bot|0.125in>

Etc.
</body>

<\initial>
<\collection>
<associate|preamble|true>
</collection>
</initial>

Notice that you may have to update the style cache (e.g. run texmacs --setup).
Also, the margins on the screen and on paper may be different.
