May I suggest formatting side-by-wide text on a single page using tbl(1) .
This will get you the side by side paragraphs (or whatever lumping you want)

I'm trying to see how much trouble it would be to typeset a
bilingual text parallel by pages, as in, one language on the recto
page, the other on the verso page, synchronized somehow by paragraph,
preferably more or less automagically. I've searched the list already
and came upon an interesting albeit two decade old message[1] that
went unanswered as well as a much more recent thread[2] that deals
with parallel typesetting with columns, on the same page, which is NOT
what I'm looking for.
