To support using portrait skins in landscape mode properly, there'd have to be additional options to specify how to place the skin on the screen (left-aligned? centered?) and how to stretch it (don't stretch, maximize while maintaining aspect ratio, or stretch to fill?). Don't hold your breath for that just yet!
Meanwhile, modifying a portrait skin for use in landscape mode isn't particularly difficult. Open the bitmap in Paint, make it wider without stretching its contents, paint the added space black. Modify the layout file to reflect the larger size, and if you moved the position of the skin within the bitmap, modify the coordinates in the layout accordingly. A bit of a chore, but not difficult.
