Map Size - ReSize
Ah, I see what the problem is. There's a white polygon on the SCREEN sheet and layer. It goes all the way around the map to hide bits of mountains and things that are only half inside the map. It's called (rather unsurprisingly) the screen.
Resize Drawing Area usually works without a hitch. Sometimes, however, if the difference between the original size and the new size is very great, it doesn't scale the Screen properly, and that is what's covering your background on the right side.
You can get rid of the damaged screen either by deleting it now that your SCREEN layer is unfrozen, or by using the command COLLARDEL, which you type on your keyboard and then hit Enter.
To make a new one just type the command COLLARAUTO and hit enter again. That should automatically draw a new screen on the correct sheet and layer. Once done, it would be worth re-freezing the SCREEN layer so you don't keep accidentally picking it while you are working on your map.
If you are having problems printing the map because of it's size you could try exporting a jpeg instead of going straight to print. Printing an image is easier to control in a lot of ways - mostly because it's a commonly done thing.

Flooring Maps
Sure you can :)
Start a new map of that style, but make it big enough to contain all the floors you have - so maybe twice the width and three times the hieght, or three times the width and twice the height (for all 6 levels to be together in that one large map).
Then copy and paste just the structure and labels (without the legend or hyperlinks, or any of the background and frame bits and pieces) from each of your existing maps into the new map. That way you still have all of your original single level maps as well as the new grand house plan of everything.

@Royal Scribe That is a lovely map. I forgot to say while I was absorbed by the mystery of the green stripes.

@Ralf It's a really beautiful style :D I don't think you will get much peace now everyone knows what you can do with good old pen and ink ;)
