using all page masters in a sequence

Is it possible to force a page-sequence to consume all the
non-repeatable page-masters listed in its reference
page-sequence-master?

I can have 1-n page-masters, but there might only be enough content to
generate m pages. I want to use up all the page-masters (with blank flow
content) for pages m+1 through n.

More than n pages will use the repeatable-page-master at the end of the
sequence.

So I might have:

<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="the-page-sequence">
  <fo:single-page-master-reference master-reference="master-1"/>
  <fo:single-page-master-reference master-reference="master-2"/>
  <fo:single-page-master-reference master-reference="master-3"/>
  <!-- through master-n -->
  <fo:repeatable-page-master-reference master-name="master-0"/>
</fo:page-sequence-master>

And then:

<fo:page-sequence master-reference="the-page-sequence">
  ...
  <fo:flow>
    <!-- long or short content -->
  </fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>

I am almost resigned to estimating vertical space required to fill n
pages and adding that to the flow content, but thought I would ask to
see if I am missing something, perhaps involving
fo:conditional-page-master-reference and force-page-count.

(Yes, this would be better handled using independent region-bodies with
separate content flows, but FOP does not support that yet.)

Thanks and regards,
