Yes, create the following page sequence master using whatever name you need:

  <page-sequence-master master-name=.....
    <repeatable-page-master-alternatives maximum-repeats="1">
      <conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="firstAndLastPage"
           page-position="last"/>
      <conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="firstPage"/>
    </repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
    <repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
      <conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="lastPage"
           page-position="last"/>
      <conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="mainPage"/>
    </repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
  </page-sequence-master>

With the above the processor has to decide on the first page from the first 
subsequence based on whether the first page is or is not the last page as 
well.  After deciding, the second and subsequent pages come from the second 
subsequence choosing between being the last page of more than one page or 
just a middle page.

I hope that helps.
