I don't see why Mike Kay took the approach he did. If I understood the
problem, this xsl:for-each and following-sibling:: business doesn't seem
at all as efficient as:

<!-- when processing the root node, go process *all* item element children -->
<xsl:template match="root">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="item"/>
</xsl:template>

<!-- when processing an item element, do something -->
<xsl:template match="item">
   Item <xsl:value-of select="."/>
   <!-- if this item's position is evenly divisible by $cntr, follow it
    with a page break that is numbered (position divided by $cntr) -->
   <xsl:if test="position() mod $cntr = 0">
   -----page break #<xsl:value-of select="position() div $cntr"/>-----
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
