Default Footer on every page except last, in section 2

I can find similar threads but not this exact issue. I'm trying to add a signing section in section 2 of a document. The numbering in this section continues from the previous section so an {If {PAGE} < {SECTIONPAGES}} won't work. I have attempted a calculation { IF = {PAGE} - 1}< {SECTIONPAGES}} (which I was thankfully given on this forum previously) however the issue is that the first section could end up being 1 page or 3 by the time the document is completed. There is a third section so NUMPAGES also won't work. The only thing I can think of doing is training our users to go in and modify that IF statement in the footer to add the number of pages in the first section but I would rather automate this. I tried adding a bookmark around the page number in the first page of the second section and using a cross reference in the footer but I couldn't figure it out. I can't do the cross reference against page 2 of section 1, which would make more sense, because there may only be 1 page in that section when the document is completed. I hope that makes sense and I attach a document with an example and would be thankful for any help.

I would add a bookmark on the last page of the section and then use that with a PageRef.
For instance, if the bookmark is called aa then try a nested field like the following
{If {Page} = {PageRef aa} True False}
