Not without recompiling Dia.  You can add a new size to lib/paper.c, but
then your diagrams will no longer be quite compatible with standard Dia.
It's not a bad idea, though, and being able to add custom sizes would be
nice.  A first step might be to read /etc/paper.config if it exists and
add those sizes, but in either case the size should be written in the
file.  It would be more future-friendly to write the size there anyway.
