Have you considered using the Page Sequence Master Interleave (PSMI) 
semantic that I created for signalling and processing author-triggered 
changes in page geometry?  It is described and available in a free resource 
downloaded in the XSL-FO section at the "Free resources" link in the 
marginalia on our home page noted below (I'd rather not publish the direct 
URL in the archives of the list as I may have to change where it is stored 
on my web site).

The exemplar is the author-triggered change of page geometry for landscape 
tables in the middle of portrait content, but the PSMI semantic could 
easily be used in your situation where you decide a change in page geometry 
is required to accommodate different margins for a particular graphic.

I hope this helps.
