You can use frames to divide the page, but you must set each size
and align them. To make alignment easier, make a table of the right
geometry and put a frame in each cell. In the frame formatting, use
width "relative = 100%", height "Autosize". On the Wrap tab, spacings
are zero.
The only flaw is that the table will insist on one blank line in the
cell. That might be used as a convenient vertical frame spacing. To
make the line small, create a paragraph style with the minimum font
size and no space above or below. You probably want to eliminate the
border lines from the table.
Not really great, but it might do.
