IMO you should divide the portraits into multiple sheets. Putting them all in one PNG would be too big. The swimsuit portraits can go together with normal portraits, but portraits shouldn't be mixed with sprites.
>I know this, that is why i use the Map(OAM?) viewer. It gives me whole portraits, like this: http://i37.tinypic.com/15en88.png (Still WIP..)
What emulator are you using now? I know DesmuME has a map viewer, but can't find one in iDeaS.
The problem still exists: it's possible for the portrait data to be larger than the viewer can see. Here's an example from LA1:
