I tried something like that, but that generated 32 pages. Had properly
to do with the inbetween.

I changed it to:
    \def\PageWithComment[#1]{
      \page
      #1
      \blank
      {\switchtobodyfont[2.3em]
       \getnoflines{\dimexpr\pagegoal-\pagetotal-3\lineheight\relax}
       \thinrules[n=\noflines]
      }
      \page}

For the inbetween by thinrules I use 1.4em, but to get the same space
I need to use here 2.3em. Do not know why.
