CNC Routers

As my CNC experience matures I am thinking that maybe I set up my 700x100 on the wrong axis?
The home is set in the upper left, the short dimension is the x and the long dimension is the Y.

Most of my work ends up rotated from my view as I stand on the long dimension.

The way I am set up I am restricted in the x by the short dimension of the table. Often the piece I want is rectangular and longer in the x dimension than the Y, like with signs.

Should I change my setup to make the x the long dimension?

Can I rotate the source Gcode 90 degrees some how?
Sounds complex, is that a practical approach?
Does my tinyG support gcodes that rotate the source?

Thanks for your thoughts and advice.
