You can always use a small picture in the header or the footer to
place things on the page:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\cfoot{I'm a normal page number \thepage}

\fancypagestyle{landscape}{%
 \cfoot{\begin{picture}(0,0)
        \unitlength=1cm 
        \put(15,15){\Huge\thepage}
        \end{picture}}}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-9]
\newpage
\thispagestyle{landscape}
\begingroup
\edef\oripagewidth{\the\pdfpagewidth}
\pdfpagewidth\pdfpageheight
\pdfpageheight=\oripagewidth
\lipsum[1]
\newpage
\endgroup
\lipsum
\end{document}

But for a better solution you should make a better description. E.g.
do you want the landscape for the screen or print? Should the page
layout be changed? Are there (and where?) headers and footers.
