I came up with the following that works with dvips 5.47:
(On A4 paper)
------------------------ twoup----------------------------------------
/isoddpage true def
/orig-showpage /showpage load def
/factor 0.707106781187 def
/showpage {
        isoddpage not { orig-showpage } if
        /isoddpage isoddpage not store } def
 
/bop-hook {
        /vsize 1 factor add neg def
        isoddpage {factor factor scale}
                 { 0 544.283799804 translate} ifelse
        } def
 
/end-hook{ isoddpage not { orig-showpage } if } def
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use with dvips  -h twoup -t landscape
