   I'm not sure what you mean by 'paper size', does the
printer cut the paper for you?  :)

   Anyway I think the above is caused by the fact that your
document has a aspect ratio of ~5 by 4.  The SVG PDF transcoder
generally outputs the actual document size, if you need the
document placed in an otherwise blank page the simplest route
might be to place the SVG document in an FO document and render
it with FOP.
