The following forces two blank pages, while preserving header and
footer processing:

.nf
.SK                    (or .bp)
<white-space>
<white-space>
.SK                    (or .bp)
<white-space>
<white-space>
.SK                    (or .bp)
.fi                    (or whatever)

(Substitute one or more real spaces for <white-space>, of course.)
