You could, the machine can do it , all I'm saying is it shouldn't be the workhorse for sheet stuff. Ex: Our Router should not be used as a mill and vice versa.
Also the sheet can be any size you want, that's dependent on your bed travel. Without knowing your machine and setup I can't give you a good answer.
On the same note, you should just find a local guy and work with them to help you cut your sheet. Who knows they might do it free and help with the robot build season. Quick google:

Unsure if any of those are in range.
