My program to generate a test LyX doc is called makelyxbook.cpp, which you can copy from http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/index.htm. The makelyxbook.cpp program is licensed GPL, so you're free to copy, modify and distribute it, within the guidelines of the GPL. To answer your question, it fairly well represents the structure of a normal book, and its constants can be manipulated to better mimic your exact situation.
