Yes.  There are several different issues involved here - choosing the page
breaks based on both parts; engraving each part with exactly those breaks
even though they are not the breaks that would be chosen based on the part
by itself; trying to match number of systems per page if that's being
done; sequencing pages to alternate between the two parts; and numbering
pages accordingly.  I'm not sure I would ask Lilypond to solve all those
problems at once; it's inevitable that I'd end up wanting to override the
decisions manually.  But the original request for an ability to specify
manual page breaks and not have Lilypond add any others, seems like more
of bite-sized thing.  We can already do something similar with line
breaks.
