How it should fold
A long document folded as one booklet has a spine hundreds of sheets thick and will not close. Signatures are how a real book is made: fold each one separately, then stack them.
What it works out to
Print it double-sided, flipping on the short edge. Flipping on the long edge turns every other sheet upside down, which is the other half of why this goes wrong.
