Once i was interested in this subject also. But i never started the
project.
If you look in a bookmaker output (xyz.f), you see many array
operations (create, fill, add). And some of these arrays are clearly for
page-layout. So my theory was to create from the same source with
several copies of bookmaker (hacked for the desired sizes) a bunch
of f-files. From these cut the layout information and paste them into 1 f-
file, which you then proceed with in the usual way : with NTK produce
the final book-pkg.
As first step one has to compile a bookmaker source file with at least 2
different BM and inspect the output with a program, which can
compare 2 files and mark the difference, e.g. Word or some
HexEditors. Then you know which parts are unique for a certain size.
These should be those for copy/paste.
