do you mean "open a new 3-fold document" in Scribus? This
would mean having two pages with another size than the third
page: due to the third page being wrapped into the other
two, it must be slightly more narrow, and so would the one
printed on its back.

If you run Scribus, you get into a dialog box named "New
Document".
In that dialog, the third choice in the area called
"Document Layout" is "3-Fold".
As you can see on its icon, the third page is not wrapped
into the other two: it is what we call in France a "pli
accordéon" ("accordion fold" if you translate it straight).
In that kind of folding, the 3 folds are of the exact same size.
So this is exactly what you need, doesn't it?

This would include having 6 single pages and 4 with
different sizes in one document. Is this possible in
Scribus, and would it make sense? Do the pros practice it
like this?

Depends on the type of fold... :)
It's true for what we call here a "portfolio fold". Sorry
for I don't know the exact translation in English.

<font face="Liberation Serif">The thing to keep in mind is that the
3-fold is just a display option in Scribus, so that you can see
the 3 pages side by side. So 3-fold A4 will be 3 A4 pages side by
side. When you print out a 3-fold document, it will still print as
individual A4 pages.</font><br>
