Printing one Pages-page twice on a physical paper

pagesprinting

I wrote a short text that would be suitable to print on A5 but I only have A4 in my printer. I need ten physical copies of this text, that is five A4 with it printed twice.

Is it possible to print the same page twice on one physical paper? And then repeat that five times?

Please note that I don't want/need to print on both sides of a physical paper.

I found some instructions to setup facing pages here https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/pages/tan026e4c95a/mac but that is not what I want (at least it didn't seem to work the way I wanted/expected).

My current workaround is to create two pages in Pages with identical content and then print two Pages pages on one physical paper (not printing double sided) but this is annoying when I want to update the content and print it again.

While I don't use Pages.app the macOS print dialog box is pretty standard and that option is to be found in most apps.

In Safari (below) when you go to print, you get this when you select "Layout" from the pop-up menu halfway down the dialog:

Print Layout

You merely need to select 2 pages per sheet and will print a single page "two up" as they say. Note that if you have a two (or 3 or 4...) page document it will print page 1 and 2 on the first sheet of paper.
