Yes, maybe.  This would be much more possible than supporting
arbitrary paper sizes.  I've tested the following definition of
@bsixpaper:

\def\bsixpaper{{\globaldefs = 1
  \afourpaper
  \internalpagesizes{140mm}{100mm}%
                    {-6.35mm}{-12.7mm}%
                    {\bindingoffset}{14pt}%
                    {176mm}{125mm}%
  \globaldefs = 0
}}

and it seems to produce OK results, at least for some pages without
hard-to-break lines.  Could you give this a go and report if any of
the parameters should be changed?  You could use it by inserting

@tex
\gdef\bsixpaper{{\globaldefs = 1
  \afourpaper
  \internalpagesizes{140mm}{100mm}%
                    {-6.35mm}{-12.7mm}%
                    {\bindingoffset}{14pt}%
                    {176mm}{125mm}%
  \globaldefs = 0
}}
@end tex
@bsixpaper

near the start of your input file.
