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 on
the first page.
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.

Ah. So inserting a hard page break, setting the header, and then
deleting the page break (with no extra lines on the first page), would
accomplish the same thing. I wasn't sure the header contents would stick
with no actual page there. Thanks for the clarification.
