Thanks for the suggestion.

This is related to bug 156087, which had the conclusion that "Draw does not mean to have continuous content". We need to stick to the concept of pages.

You are however free to set the page size to whatever custom value you want, larger than A0.

I think bug 81118 already covers your use-case: having a feature to "fit page size to objects" is a sensbile to adapt to drawings that get bigger, and some of its duplicates are about _automatically_ resizing the page to objects.

So I'll mark as duplicate, I hope that makes sense and that you agree!

Yeah, having the page automatically resize is from the practical standpoint basically indistinguishable from what I had in mind, thanks.
