pdftk works on linux too, and in fact is what I would have used/suggested as I never heard of pdfjam.
Seem it is part of TeX, which of course we have anyway for Therion, so it does make sense in this context.

I take your point that therion probably could be extended to do
multipage non-atlas PDFs with maps and headers allocated to different
pages, or as you say: <some layout><page break><more mayout> might be
the right paradigm. It might not even be too difficult...
