You can make documents larger than a single sheet of paper with Pages?

Because Numbers is a spreadsheet program, and a charting program, and it needs to be able to print as wide as it needs in order to get all the columns printed.

Because Pages is, as its name implies, a page-oriented application. It is not a graphics program. As I said, use the proper tool for the job at hand. There are so many other programs, like Numbers and GraphicConverter, to mention two, that will do what you want to do? Why do you insist on using a program that is not designed to do what you want to do?
Do you hate automobiles because they won't run on train tracks? Do you hate trains because they won't sail on the water? Do you hate ships because they don't fly? Do you hate radios because they don't show pictures?
