You should definitely create a separate stylesheet for the iPad. You can use the following to do so:

On this link, you will find information about the orientation of your website on the iPad and how to deal with it.

My advice would be, to create a separate stylesheet (css file) for the iPad version of your site, no matter what you do, you should just create it and add a link tag like the one shown above.

If you have a background of a picture that is 2000x1500px for the iPad version, you can reduce it to fit the iPad, if that's the only thing you've got a problem with. I'd say you should reduce the size of the image to 1024px and declare it in the separate stylesheet for the iPad, and you will see the end result.

Let me know how it goes.
