The macro below generates a roster of people, and then a signature block for the reviewing officer to sign at the bottom of the page. The length of the roster changes, and sometimes the signature block gets split crossed between pages when printed. It's ok if the block is entirely on a page by itself because the roster is just that perfect length, and it's also definitely ok if the signature block is entirely on the last roster page below the last roster data row. I'm looking for a way for Excel to choose one or the other based on the roster length so that it is never interrupted by the page break. If it helps, a full sheet contains two header rows, plus 40 roster data rows.

Code:
Sub cpypste5()


    Dim x    As String
    Dim ws1 As Worksheet: Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Main Data")
    Dim ws2 As Worksheet
    Dim r1     As Range, r2 As Range, r3 As Range, r4 As Range, r5 As Range, multiAreaRange As Range
    Dim c     As Range
    Dim Lr     As Long


        Set r1 = ws1.Range("B B")
        Set r2 = ws1.Range("C:C")
        Set r3 = ws1.Range("E E")
        Set r4 = ws1.Range("F F")
        Set r5 = ws1.Range("H:H")


    If ws1.Range("$C$4") = "1" Then                 '//Uses Period # from Main Data sheet
        Set ws2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("P1 Figure 2—2")         'to direct data to the correct period's
        ElseIf ws1.Range("$C$4") = "2" Then             'Figure 2—2
        Set ws2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("P2 Figure 2—2")         '
        ElseIf ws1.Range("$C$4") = "3" Then             'Max of 8 Periods
        Set ws2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("P3 Figure 2—2")        '
        ElseIf ws1.Range("$C$4") = "4" Then            '
        Set ws2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("P4 Figure 2—2")        '
        Else: Exit Sub                        '
    End If                                //


    Set multiAreaRange = Union(r1, r2, r3, r4, r5)

                                            ' "NO" ERC.
