You basically make the parts split over multiple pages
then you cut them out and assemble them
to make assembly easier you can add tabs to the pieces
or you can join the pieces edge to edge with just glue
or you can join them edge to edge but put a strip along the back to make the join stronger.

as the designer you are definitely not limited to the size of your printer.

designs like the models at fiddler's green limited the size of the model to the biggest scale that would fit on standard paper. (that's why they are all a little bit different scale)

Remember sometimes when the model gets big enough you have to also design forms inside to add structure to the model. Lots of ship models are designed this way.
