I suppose you have dvips 5.47.

Use this with -h twoup.ps -t landscape
 
(or \special{landscape}\special{header=twoup.ps}
 
--------------------------------- twoup.ps --------------------------------- 
/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
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Note: the numbers are for A4 paper size. For USA paper you might have to
fiddle with the positioning.
