Thankfully, it looks like I may have goofed and picked the wrong printout while
measuring lengths.
Everything seems to work fine now! Sorry about the false alarm!

As you expected, the order of setting doesn't matter.
I don't see anything strange in the run below. where the stderr
output follows the closing '!'.
groff -ms <<'!' >/dev/null
.nr LL 100000u
.nr PO 1000u
.nr PS 12
.nr VS 10000u
.TL

.tm \n[LL]
.tm \n[PO]
.tm \n[PS]
.tm \n[VS]
.LP
.tm \n[LL]
.tm \n[PO]
.tm \n[PS]

.TL and .LP are where all the setup action happens
Can you give a short example of what seems to go wrong?
