The model was laid out with most of the parts laid out such that they would curve along the long side of the paper - the direction the grain usually runs - but in rotating the pages 90 degrees so they would fit two to a sheet, I oriented the curved parts perpendicular to the grain!
Something I'll have to keep in mind for future builds.

When I downscale, I just keep the orientation as is, the blank space on the pages just becomes scrap stock for gluing or reinforcing. It wastes paper somewhat but eliminates that exact issue you're encountering!
