I do not have time to look deeply into this, but, I do believe that you can have differnet behavior for left / right pages for a page style. I think they talk about it here: 

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Writer/FormattingPagesAndDocuments/How_do_I_make_page_numbers_alternate%3F

I will have a look later but note the pages were random, I should have used a different set of numbers, page 2, page 5 and page 10 say.

I do notice, however, tha tyou say "page 3" is numbered as xi (11), so you would need to make sure that the real page number is correct if you rely on that to generate the number. 

it's the automatic generation of a number I need to avoid. I need to insert the numbers somehow by hand.

 great help!

through some trickery with 'manual breaks' and 'page styles' I have
almost everything in shape.

however -

imagine you have ten consecutive pages all without footer and
unnumbered except for pages 3, 5 and 7; on those pages you want a
footer and you want a roman numeral, for instance ix on page 3, xi on
page 5 and xiii on page 7.

inserting a number generates the same numeral on each page.

ah, I guess the trick is to do a different page style for 3, 5 and 7.

need a break; will pursue this strategy later unless there's a better
idea.
