Independent what pdftops filter is used, the tray seems to be generally selected by the size of the first page.
This means that the PostScript data stream produced when running the Ghostscript-based pdftops filter does not trigger tray changes when the page size changes. Pages are not scaled to fit into any given format.
The Poppler-based pdftops filter scales down all pages, in your last test not to the size given by CUPS as the filter is patched to not pass on the PPD or command line paper size. It seems to scale the pages to the size of the first page.
I have also tried to run
pdftops -noshrink -nocenter -nocrop combined.pdf
Then the output consists of all pages in original size but put onto A4 sheets in the orientation of the original pages. The A3 pages are cropped then. It seems that Poppler's pdftops is not able to produce documents with different paper sizes for the different pages.
