Ok, it seems ok to add these two new entries into
ps-page-dimensions-database.

Well, the right thing to do is to add new entries into ps-n-up-database,
like:
(defconst ps-n-up-database
'(......
(shipping
(100 nil 1 1 0))
(topcoated
(100 nil 1 1 0)))
...)
Please, try the change above and let me know the results.
Does it make sense to have ps-n-up-printing > 1 for these 2 new entries??
ps-print does not deal with paper sizes which only can have 1 n-up, but
it's possible to change this if this is the case.
Thanks for your contribution,
Vinicius
