No, there is no TwoPageRestartOnRight.... I don't think you really need
it.

I've patched my openjade to support an extension for jadetex's
TwoPageStartOnRight called two-page-start-on-right?. I've played around
with getting the stylesheet to emit this (either true of false) every so
often to get the behaviour you describe (this was before I had a better
fix to the DSSSL to stop the title pages from starting on odd pages -
i.e. with the recto, blank page, verso, blank page...) so it does seem
to work OK.

You could simiulate the effect of this by editing the .tex output from
jade - look for where it calls \SpS and add the value in there... e.g.

Before:

...\SpS%
{\def\PageNColumns%
{1}\def\PageNumberFormat%
{i}\def\InputWhitespaceTreatment%
...


After:

...\SpS%
{\def\PageNColumns%
{1}\def\PageNumberFormat%
{i}\def\TwoPageStartOnRight%
{0}\def\InputWhitespaceTreatment%
...

So either 0 (as above) or 1 as you see fit.

Of course, with the {open}jade patched for the page-two-side and
two-page-start-on-right extensions then you would simply;-) have to call

    two-page-start-on-right?: #t

or
    two-page-start-on-right?: #f

in the stylesheets as you saw fit.
