Here is an example I am using to cram a lot of lists/notes onto a peice of
paper to fold into eighths.
#+BEGIN_SRC org
#+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [landscape]
#+LaTeX_HEADER:
\usepackage[top=.1in,bottom=.125in,left=0in,right=.125in]{geometry}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{amssymb} % for org checkboxes -> $\square$
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{nopageno} % no page number
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{multicol} % slice page into arbitrary columns
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \setlength\columnsep{.35in} % set column separation
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{paralist} % reduce spacing in lists
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \let\itemize\compactitem
#+LATEX_HEADER: \let\enumerate\compactenum
#+LATEX_HEADER: \let\description\compactdesc
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \let\centering\relax % prevent centering of tables
#+TITLE:
#+END_SRC
(I setup TeXLive to default to letter.)
I originally started with a uniform
: #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[margin=.125in]{geometry}
but had to massage out the edges due to the printer (or something?) adding a
margin on the left, and basically use a ruler to get the column separation to
work in concert.
I also throw in
#+BEGIN_SRC org
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
\begin{multicols*}{4}
#+END_LaTeX
#+END_SRC
The `*' is for allowing uneven heights of columns.
To break a column, I use
: \vfill
: \columnbreak
