[sdiy] Eagle board size

Gents,

 I contacted eagle and asked if it would be possible to have a version
that supported two layers at 320 by 200 rather than 4 layers at 160 by
100. Here's the response ;-

"The limitations on each Eagle Edition are sold as is. All specifications
are set according to European standards and therefore cannot be altered.
Standard Edition of Eagle can only be purchased with the limitations
stated for it."

I understand that they're reluctant to do special versions of the
software, but the first part implies that eagle will *ONLY* generate
standard eurocard sized boards (160mm by 100mm), so if I wanted a
135mm by 67mm board it wouldn't be able to do it, is that right?

Anyway, it looks like eagle is useless for my project (I need 210mm by
110mm, double sided), I can't even split it if I can't make a 'non
standard' sized pcb, so time to look for another product, and learn
yet another interface.

Anyone have any advice?

Paul
