It seems that 'Microsoft Print to PDF' only has those page sizes - A3 being the largest.
You will need to install a different PDF printer if you don't have one.
Primo PDF that I shows has larger page sizes.
I am sure you can Google it.
I have no idea if it is a free PDF printer or not without checking myself.

If the model does not fit on an A3 page at 1:50 scale, then you have only 2 choices.
Change the scale so it does fit or use a bigger page size.
There is nothing else you can do.
I suppose you do have a 3rd choice if you want to split it over multiple pages, but that is not a very good option.

If you are printing directly from the Archicad screen (I hope you are not) then just go into you 'Page Setup'.
If you are setting up Publisher Sets in the Navigator (which is what you should do), then these get the page size from the layout page you have set up to place your drawings on.

I pasted my work in a worksheet and when I try to do the page setup I only have A3-A4-A5 pages
