Another option may be to use iText to split the entire PDF into multiple PDFs and then insert your own page at the split. I don't know if it's possible or not, but iText can do some pretty powerful things.

Do you really want to break after exactly 600 pages, no matter if you are for example in the middle of a text block or so? If yes, I'd guess it would be possible to define a page-master-sequence consisting of the front page, 599 times the data page (with a data region), the second front page containing only static content (no data region) and 599 times the data page again. Then a flow into the data region should fill 599 pages, the generate the second front page without filling in data from the flow, the go on filling data pages.
