Yes, use a page sequence where the first page of the page sequence uses a
page paster that doesn't have the static area with the running head. The
remaining pages of the page sequence will then have the static area that is
filled with your desired running head.

I hopefully will be releasing "Practical Formatting Using XSLFO" as a
web-based PDF book (with the same policy of perpetual no-charge updates as
with our XSLT/XPath book) by the end of this month. This is the handouts
of my two-day hands-on XSLFO course, and will evolve to be more. I've been
asked to release the first edition according to the Candidate
Recommendation because of the existing tool support, rather than changing
the details according to the Proposed Recommendation ... this makes sense
and the free updates means anyone buying a copy of the first edition will
get every subsequent edition at no charge. Some customers of our
XSLT/XPath book bought the first edition and have had eight free updates
... the tenth edition should be out in October.

I hope this helps.

p.s. I'm teaching two one-day XSLFO hands-on courses next week ... Tuesday
and Wednesday in Hever Belgium and Amsterdam Netherlands ... please see our
course schedule for details

p.p.s. the complete two-day hands-on XSLFO course is being delivered in
Ottawa during the first week of October, after the complete three-day
hands-on XSLT/XPath course ... please see our web site for details.
