If I understand correctly our own documentation, your "*" idea is =

exactly what I would do if I were faced to the same problem.

XFC supports all conditional-page-master-reference element combinations =

that can be accommodated by a single RTF section. This means the =

following page sequence layouts are supported:

     - Single-sided layout.
     - Header page + single-sided layout.
     - Double-sided layout.
     - Header page + double-sided layout.

This applies to all output formats. Also, note that a single RTF section =

can handle different headers/footers on left/right/first pages, but does =

not allow page geometry changes, except for switching left and right =

margins on facing pages. This restriction does not apply to OpenDocument =

output.

The key sentence here being "a single RTF section can handle different =

headers/footers on left/right/first pages, but does not allow page =

geometry changes".
