First, I am not aware of any attempt to use verso/recto for chunked
XHTML content for an ebook.
Obviously it is intended mainly for print FO. I'm not sure it makes
sense to have different layout for a recto page vs. verso page for an
epub file. (most ebook displays show a single page.
I have used title pages to make a title page for epub though.
The convention in ebooks is the keep front matter to a minimum. I put
anything I can at the end of the ebook rather than the front. Aside
for ebooks bound for the Kindle, I've even started to eliminate the
TOC from the start -- most ebook readers let you access it through its
navigation system.
I'm not sure what your need is, but all you really want to do is to
separate Part 1 of titlepage content into two pages, you can probably
do that with a CSS statement that sets a page break after a certain
element.
