The Versatec filter appears to have been crudely converted for use with fanfold paper, with the result that the size of the plot space is constrained by the 8.5-inch height of Versatec fanfold sheets (and the Versatec's unwillingness to plot too close to the folds). The true space() specification for the Versatec is:

space(0, 0, 1536, 1536)

Since sensible installations generally use roll paper, the filter should be modified appropriately. This shouldn't be hard but I haven't tried it yet.
