Default How to layout a contact sheet of a single picture using Lightroom3

I want to print a huge portrait of my daughter, say 4feetx6feet. I want to layout one single picture in Lightroom3 and print multiple pieces of it say multiple pieces of 11x14s or 13x19s without any borders. Once I print multiple prints, want to assemble all these on the wall to display one single big portrait. I am not that familiar with print module in LR3, but someone can go through the steps to do this will be appreciated.
I have a Canon Pixma 9000 pro Mark II.

I don't have LR or a Canon printer but it seems to me the most straight forward way to do it would be go to Photoshop and put each section on a different layer and then make each layer into a different file. Printing should be as with any other file. You will have to make new blank layers so make sure they are the same ppi as the orginal.
