In the case of the GRG sheets, we can stick with only meters and need to determine the appropriate increment (1m, 10m, 100m, 1000m) and then determine how many of those increments will fit on the sheet based on the sheet size and aspect ratio. So in this example, the increment is 10m and there are 13 increments displayed to the right and 4 to the left and it fits on the page in landscape.

And this one is in portrait and only 10 fit.

And here with the increment 100m and only 4 fit.
