Yes, you can get pages with different mm sizes. Problem is, all holes are the same size for the whole page. I want them mixed and matched so I can keep the coins in the same order I have them now.

I am in no hurry, since I am using the Dansco 2x2 albums (making all of my albums matched). However, I do need to replace some of the pages because the heavier coins have caused them to sag some. This is how I came to contemplate the change.
Rest in Peace

I don't know enough about proofs to suggest what motivates 1975 as the cut-off date, but 21 blank holes would let you fill in a lot of the earlier ones

1975 was the first proof-only. Before then, there were circulation strikes of S from 68-74, and P mint from 64-back.

I'm just 3 coins away from filling my Jefferson 5c collection(except proofs from 1938-1960, next project-$$$$$$, and the 94P, Special Unc., 1997P Special unc., and a 2012 proof))...why Dansco does not have ports for ALL proofs in this denomination irritates me(1938 onward)...a complete album should be just that, EVERY coin available in Business strike and proof issues, no matter what the cost(I too dislike blank ports, as my handwriting sucks, and, I have yet to get a good lableling system found(feel free to comment on that). Guess they figure the general public cannot afford the first 10 proof coins, and, would be irritated looking at those blank ports week after week!)
I wrote Dansco as to why the SATIN FINISH coins are the Rodney Dangerfield of coins these days..I just plopped down 187 bucks(I got all 6 Unc. unopened Mint sets off ebay, 2005-2010) to have ALL Satin finish coins from 2005-2010(they are my FAVORITE USA-Made coins, and, I think the most handsome modern coin ever made, IMHO). I am puzzled why no ports for these important issues...baffles me to no end...no answer yet from Dansco. As long as I am opinionated this morning, I might as well give my 2-cents on the newer proof coins, with the laser-deep cameo finish..I don't like them, compared to the say 1979-2007 or so proofs, which I think are very handsome in DCAM, with a standard beautiful frosting, and black/white mirrored contrasts...the newer proofs have a granulated, rougher finish, and, IMHO, lose detail..anyway, I'd like to hear from all you satin-finish junkies out there...maybe if more of you wrote Dansco too, they'll come out with an album just for that 2005-2010 series..162 coins of historical importance, and, left out of the mix..weird!

I haven't heard anything. I'm still waiting on the #7104/#8104 and #7114/#8114 too. My 2012 mint and proof sets should be here soon so I also need page four for my #8183 and it's back-ordered everywhere! And I need to get the #8185...

I feel the same way.
The closest album to complete is the JFK.
It has holes for all the proofs, and it has holes for the SMS coins.
I complained to Dansco that the other coin sets from 65-67 don't have
holes for the SMS coins. If one book has the SMS holes, they all should.

Same with the satins. All the books should have holes for the satins, just
like the SMS. If you think about it, the Cent books would be left with
fewer holes at the end if you add the SMS and 2009 copper/zinc varieties.
If they are going to have the 82s broken down into copper/zinc, why not
the 2009 coins. That's 8 more holes filled instead of blank in the back
of the 7100 and 8100.

I contacted Dansco and suggested that they custom make a page for the
2009 cents. A page that has zinc P/D, copper P/D, and proofs. That is
16 ports on a single page that could then be added to the back of an
8100 ending in 2008 (LMCs), or the front of a LSC book, 2010-?.

Th only way I can figure to get the albums 'right' is to use blank pages.
Don't want to, but they are inconsistent as heck at Dansco.

Any updates on these updates? I have seen the Lincoln Shield cent album "coming soon" for a few months on some websites. Seems like they would be out by now.
