As far as I know there is not a way to set up the printing preferences for subsequent pages. You could set it to print page one as portrait and print it off, then set page two to landscape and print that one only. It’s a bit more time but may work.

You can have a different orientation for each of the 3 sections: Header Section, Main Section and Trailer Section, but not multiple orientations within each section.

If your report requirements can be squeezed into those restrictions (e.g. if you only need the first and/or last page of the entire report to be a different orientation) then I can see a way forward. Otherwise, you might need to abandon Oracle Reports as your report engine for this one, and try something else — e.g. make it a word processor merge document.

If you give us some more details about your report specification we may be able to help more.

You can split a section, and then you can change one of them to the right lay-out.
