Attached is a simple file that demonstrates this. As is, it does not
leave a blank page. But if you remove the num:nil option from the second
line of this file, you do get a blank page.
You (probably) need koma-article class for this. (I didn't install
anything. It just worked for me.) You don't need the images.

John is correct, I think, although latex's behavior in leaving an empty
page does not make much sense to me. Nevertheless, when I reduce
the height of the last image to less than about 7.85 inches, the empty
page goes away. AFAICT, num: and toc: settings do not affect this
behavior.
Thanks, Nick, but I have confirmed that adding num:nil eliminates the
blank page, and removing that re-introduces the blank page. No other
changes to the .org file were made. I was wondering if LaTeX has some
predisposition to handle numbered section headings differently from
unnumbered ones as far as pagination.
I'll try to make a simple, clean sample that reproduces it, but it's
going to take some trial-and-error testing.
