To clarify this... if you're opening a component file outside the book
environment, the file's settings are used, so if you want consistent
behavior, the file pagination settings need to match the book's.
The book pagination only applies if the book environment is present. So if
you're also treating the files as individual documents, you need to set them
up properly. In particular, since you have left and right pages, I'd guess
that you're using double-sided pagination... which would force any single
page document to grow an empty back page, just because there are ALWAYS an
even number of pages.
