I see, I still don't see an issue. Is there a reason why they can't push text that doesn't fit into another page. I remember when I was younger I did work for a heating company that did boiler inspections in NY. The NYC DOB has specific forms that you had to fill out and specific places for your text. In cases where the text overflowed beyond the 8 or so alloted lines, we were able to create a duplicate page and continue in a copy of the form with the remainder of information. We could this as much as we needed to, so long as the information was in the proper form. This seems like the same logic would be applicable here too. Limit to 150 words, and if it's beyond the page, simply finish on another page.
Alternatively, like you said, you could figure out the necessary font-size based on the word-count, length, or even client's sizing information.

If every word was 8 characters, and you had 150, then leave room for 1500 characters instead of 1200 on the print area. If it still goes over, dynamically scale the font size down on that section by up to 1pt to make it fit. Or like you said, offer logic to have additional pages printed if needed.
