I think you are out of luck using XSL 1.

Since the only related test available to you is 
page-position="last", I can think of no way to 
avoid matching on other tests for alternatives.

RenderX has extensions, as well as access to the 
area tree after formatting is done.  Perhaps you 
can find the second last page in the area tree 
and massage its geometry as part of a post-process.

I hope this helps.
