This specifies pdfTeX page dimensions, but doesn't change
LaTeX page dimensions, which there are \paperwidth and
\paperheight.

Irrelevant for pdfpages.

\setlength\paperheight{297mm}
\setlength\paperwidth{420mm}
\setlength\pdfpageheight{\paperheight}
\setlength\pdfpagewidth{\paperwidth}

\includepdf[nup=2x1, scale=1, pages={{},1}, frame]{dummy.pdf}
