You have discovered that drawings in LibreOffice (perhaps 
understandably) behave differently from text documents.  Whereas text 
flows naturally from one page to another in a text (Writer) document, 
material in a drawing (Draw) document is positioned in individual 
slides and does not flow between them.  The moral, of course, is that 
you need to decide on your final format before positioning material.

But there may be a workaround.  You appear now to want to print the 
A4 images on A3 sheets.  LibreOffice has a "brochure" facility which 
enables you to print images in this way - combining two slides onto 
one page and automatically positioning them so that a resulting stack 
of double-sided A3 sheets will fold into a correctly ordered A4 
booklet with one of your A4 images on each page.

o Return your slide format to A4 and Portrait.
o Print your document with your printer settings at A3 and Landscape.
o To create a brochure, either go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice 
Draw | Print | Page options and select Brochure, or (on the fly) in 
the Print dialogue, select Options... | Page options | Brochure.

Even if you don't want the slides ordered as for a brochure, you may 
be able to print parts of the document to create the required effect, 
possibly by saving parts of your document as separate documents.  If 
possible, you may wish to install a virtual PDF printer (freeware 
versions are available), so that you can practise to see what happens 
without wasting your nice A3 paper.  Note that LibreOffice's own 
Export as PDF... facility cannot help you here, as this does not 
respect the brochure concept.

I trust this helps.
