Many thanks for your fast reply, Wolfgang.
Yes, I forgot this. But if each merged document contains 6 pages, having
different odd and even layouts won’t help here.
And if each merged document has an odd number of pages using
\page[right] would create a blank page with layers.
Is there any way to remove a layer with "state=continue" from a blank page?

Many thanks for the tip.
Is there no way to add a page identifier at any given point of it that
can match a \definelayout[identifier]?
I‘m thinking of something similar to the "state=start" in layers.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
