I have a large document with lots of pictures currently using LO 5.1.5.2. After doing some editing, the page formatting function kicks in automatically but does a bad job, inserting page breaks randomly and lots of empty pages in sequence.
I am not sure it finishes, it looks like the process times out, or worse, crashes.
You could try to use a master document (.odm) with smaller sub-documents. It does not solve the problem, formatting is still stopping, but reformatting every sub-document/satellite can be forced after opening the odm, before exporting to pdf and or printing. On the other hand, if your document just opens correctly, you are probably creating extra work with this procedure.

I have got the impression that it is the pictures LO has problem with since most of these extra page breaks are made where there are pictures nearby.
I agree. And calculating columns goes wrong too in certain large documents.
I have tried anchored them to the paragraph or as a character without any effect that I can see. Closing and reopen the document clears the problem as the initial page formatting works fine.
I did some testing with the large LO-manuals from https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/. They don't suffer from this problem, despite the large amount of pictures. This is described further in the link to the thread above. These pictures are in a frame, with the frame anchored as (not to) character, always followed by an enter.
Unfortunately this causes a lot of white space left and or right from the frame when small pictures or listings are involved.
