I didn't understand _all_ the options, but I managed to write the 
following script, which you might find useful:

#!/bin/sh
psbook $1 | pstops 
"4:address@hidden(21cm,0)address@hidden(21cm,14.85cm),address@hidden(0,29.7cm)address@hidden(0,14.85cm)"

$2

It converts a postscript file in A4 size to a A5 booklet.
(You have to print it on a full duplex printer in vertical
duplex mode.)
