This job opening has these requirements for applying that I don't quite understand: Please submit in pdf form a CV and A4 samples of work (up to 10 sides, maximum 5Mb), with a covering letter.

Do 10 sides mean 5 A4 pages? Should the covering letter be included in the portfolio or are the CV, the portfolio, and the covering letter in different pdfs?

Since it doesn't specify if the portfolio should be in landscape or portrait, does it mean that I can do either?

Should I make the portfolio into a type of book format?
