While I am no expert on this I think you would need to look into
doc.multibuild, or the multibuild method of BaseDocTemplate.  So the
first pass through you figure out how many pages you have and put the
same header on each page.  Then on the second pass when you hit the last
 page you change that header.

Keep in mind performance goes way down.  I have been successfully using
this for page n of n so far after a gracious user on this list pointed
it out.  Should be in the list archive.  Hope this helps.
