We've got a fair amount of wall space in corridors offices and teaching areas. With big print runs off the 8400 (and or 9800), we'll tend to run maximum 7', then masking tape to the walls, top and bottom, so you can walk past. Helps the initial drying, and helps remove the curl from the art papers.
When wall space runs out, prints are laid on one 8x4 table and trimmed, then stacked with tissue interleave. Much less stressful to trim 30x40's on something like Fiba Print, when they've been hung flat.
On occasions, I'll forget to stop loading the rip, and play the fun game of 44"x10' print carrying, or even less fun, run two eight or ten foot runs together. Single handedly (it's always late in the evening), trying to negotiate two thirds of a roll of premium paper, through doors and corridors, is not fun, but, with practice, just about doable.
Prints are being laminated? Talk to the guys next in the production chain. Do they want long lengths (unlikely, as if the laminate goes awry, then someone has to pay for a reprint). Would they like a handling edge (costs slightly on paper usage, saves a lot of stress for handling, and saves you a lot of trimming time and blades). Do they have a preferred length for the lamination process.
So, space is often the biggest issue, work out plans B and C for how you're going to traffic the prints. Have available spares on the inks and maintenance carts, and a spare roll of paper, so you don't get caught by "the fear" of only just having enough paper.
And stocks of rolls of tissue, scalpels, card to package, as you go etc... And coffee.
