What I'm trying to do is create a document that has a 4-block

a header that starts with page number 2. I do not want a header

You can do all this with a single template. You'll need different
page styles for your first and subsequent pages. Since you want
the text to flow naturally from the first to second pages, you
won't want to insert a manual page break but instead you'll want to
make your second page style the Next Style of your first page
style. The existing "First Page" and "Default" page styles may
suffice, suitably customised. As has already been pointed out, no
special treatment will be necessary for the numbering on page two
to start at "2".
OK, now I need to know how you set up the Default (or other) style
for the later pages to include the page number in the header without
having a page instantiated -- I can see where you can establish the
header itself, but not its contents. How do you do that?
The answer is very boring, I'm afraid. I merely inserted enough text
to carry over to the second page, inserted the header's contents, and
deleted the text again before saving the document as a template.
