Yes, make your odt file:

  (1) rst2odf myfile.txt >myfile.odt

make a copy

  (2) cp myfile.odt myfile.styles.odt

edit the copy and change the styles to be the way you want

  (3) libreoffice myfile.styles.odt

  (F11 the style manager thing, modify the styles in the document, not
  just the text on the page)

after that you can do

   (4) rst2odf --stylesheet=myfile.styles.odt myfile.txt >myfile.odt

It doesn't matter if myfile.styles.odt gets out of date content wise,
it's just being used to look up styles.  I.e. you only need to do
steps 1-3 once.  Unless... if your changes to myfile.txt cause the use
of a new style in myfile.odt, e.g. a figure caption style
after the first time you add a figure, just do steps 2 and 3 again -
you'll only need to edit the new style, the previous style edits get
copied at step 2.

Hope that helps.
