I think he should be able to do something with forcing an even number of
pages.

Yes, that is what I meant by "when there is a forced blank page triggered by the current or following page sequence".


That way, the first template would be used for the flowed
content, but then the second page, required by forcing an even count,
would be present with the required boilerplate.

The simple case of this is the classic THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK.

But wouldn't that preclude ever triggering the "only" condition because there would never be only one page? There would always be two or more.


The original poster has a requirement that for small amounts of content there be a page geometry satisfying the "only" condition of a one-page page-sequence:

only - 20 lines

I don't think forcing pages will create a complete solution.
