I can't read the text because I'm missing a font (Might want to look into that 
for your end users. I have the latest Acrobat 5.0 Exchange.) 

So if I understand, the problem is creating flow in the main/body two-column 
section around the top section two-column thing on page 2, which is different 
from the one on page 1. Is this correct? I think there may be something you 
could do with markers and table headers to set each block as a table header, 
then switch the content. This is what I need to figure out (someday) for our 
tables where we want to add 'CONTINUED' on every page after the first that the 
table spans. Although I don't know if you can wrap this whole 2-column flow 
into a table. Maybe you could do the same with region-before.

Have you looked at the attached example from FOP? Could you use something 
similar to block 4, but put your images and tables in it?
