I had the same reaction to the 8.5x11 situation that you did, and so, 4 years ago, I wrote some OCLC PFW macros to get around the problem (and print as many routing slips on a single sheet as would fit).  I finally posted them to the PFW mailing list last fall.  You can also find them on a web site containing nearly all of the macros I have written using the OCLC Macro Language for both Passport and CatME:

Click on "Macros for Use with INNOPAC".  Towards the bottom of that page you will find a group of three macros related to routing slips.  The accompanying text indicates how to use them.  (I haven't tried it yet, but, with minor adaptation, I think they'll work with CatME terminal sessions as well.)  Hope this helps!
