Thanks a lot Willi,
Sorry for the late reply. Actually, for a while I couldn't make it work.
But It seems it was just my \dosetuparrangement that was wrong.
Now it works. Here it is, cleaned-up:
\installpagearrangement 2*5*double*2*5
{\dosetuparrangement{2}{5}{10}{3}{6}
% number of pages on the x axis,
% number of pages on the y axis,
% total (?),
% number of cutmarks on the x axis,
% number of cutmarks on the y axis,
\pusharrangedpageTWOFIVEDOUBLESIDED\poparrangedpagesAB\relax}
\def\pusharrangedpageTWOFIVEDOUBLESIDED#1%
{\advancearrangedpageN
\reportarrangedpage\arrangedpageN
\ifcase\arrangedpageN
\or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageA % 1

% rotation state,
% horizontal placement,
% vertical placement.

My aim is to have something as plain as possible
so I can modify it quickly to print double-sided cards, more likely from an
image,
instead of using some clumsy wysiwyg editor.
Next thing is to find a sensible name for the layout. I'm not sure about the
2*5*double*2*5 name.
Thanks again.
