well, presuming that you know what you're doing with all this cutting 
(many would perhaps fold the A4), I would suggest making A4 pages in 
landscape, so that you can then make these lines in the middle where you 
want them.

Plan B could be to use an A5 layout, then do the proper imposition 
printing to A4, THEN do a separate run in A4 landscape just to do the 
cutting marks.

And I would not suggest these are the only possibilities.

Good luck!
