You have to be able to identify text frames on the document pages, and the easiest way to achieve that would be to name them on your master pages. So if you have two text frames on each page, one at the top and one at the bottom, name the top one ‘A’ on the Layers panel. Then override the top frame on the first page and place text in it. The frame will be overset. Now write a script that, while the story is overset, adds a page, overrides frame ‘A’, and links it to the previous frame ‘A’. You can do that with as many frames as needed, call them ‘B’, ‘C’, etc.
