I love pdftk and so wanted to find a solution using that. The following worked for me. 

pdfjam --preamble '\usepackage{fancyhdr} \topmargin 85pt \oddsidemargin 140pt \cfoot{\thepage}'  --pagecommand '\thispagestyle{plain}' --landscape  --nup 2x1  --frame false --clip true --trim ".5in 0.5in 0.5in .65in" --delta '-0.25in 0' tmp.pdf

I cribbed it from: Page Numbering with the "{page} of {pages}", removing the "of pages" part.

Command converts pdf to 2x1, trims margins, and crops. Output is landscape.

\topmargin and \oddsidemargin seem to tell pdflatex where to put the numbers.

As you know, PDFJAM is for manipulating pds. It is a small collection of shell scripts which provide a simple interface to much of the functionality of the excellent pdf pages. See the Ubuntu Manual

pdfjam - A shell script for manipulating PDF files

You should create your sheet as your doing (5x6) and create a separate sheet of minimal page size with required information than merge both the file into one.

Else in first step create your sheet and use pdflib to add text as second step. It very good tool. I hope its a good solution of your problem.
