pdfposter wins!  It appears to work on the vector data and happens to be 
in Fedora already which makes my job easy.  Syntax is marginally 
convoluted, but the EXAMPLES section is sufficient:

   pdfposter -p2x2Let infile.pdf outfile.pdf

Among the downsides, the above actually generates a 6-page PDF with two 
very narrow pages (with the edges of the chart I wanted to print in my 
case), which looks like a rounding error.  pdfposter also causes my 
python to emit lots of warnings about deprecated module usage.  I did 
not look for an updated version to see if those are fixed, this is using 
version 0.5.0-4.fc12.

Thanks for all suggestions!
