From what you wrote I guess that perhaps you don't really want unusual page
dimensions, but rather Encapsulated PostScript files, which are automatically
cropped to their bounding box and can be included as images in a latex
document (using \includegraphics or such, so you could arrange the 6 graphs
in a standard latex figure environment etc.; and, of course, there's no need
to go through PDFs).
Hmm, that is equally true of PDF inclusion by pdftex. If the end product
is a PDF file, working with PDF throughout is a better workflow.
If that's what you want to do, simply use dev.copy2eps(), setting width= and
height= to the desired format of the plot and remembering to specify
onefile=FALSE (that's a trap I keep falling into ...).
If you still need PDFs, use the "epstopdf" program for the conversion,
because ps2pdf will usually mess up your bounding box and revert to a
standard page size.
But we provide dev.copy2pdf() ....
