I was careful I hope to make a neutral reply. As an ex-editor, my personal reaction was to wonder just how much time and effort may be involved in the change above and beyond the work already needed. My impression too is that there is no realistic prospect of any wider group discussion/agreement given that your entry close date is very close I think. In my opinion that was a mistake this late in the program. As a contributor, while my two submitted images were intended to be together (and likely won't be similar to anything anyone else sends in), I'm not especially perturbed if they are to be separated. With my ex-editor hat back on I wondered how you planned to manage the caption placement in this instance. Regarding image sizing and proportions mine at least were cropped and sized exactly with the expectation that they would fit the LH & RH page frames as detailed in the instructions carried forward again. So they won't fit exactly if put in the opposite layout. For Gene: Last year I changed the sequence so it was no longer in submission order, grouping related themes and colour vs BW together for example. I wanted a better flow. That was my choice though. I also added more content for Ted's dedication of course and some editorial content provided by Leica Camera. I am certain no-one objected to the first and I hope that some enjoyed the second.
