While working with only the second Flow enabled, the layout settings from the first Flow’s first page are being applied to the first page of the second Flow. However, I need the first page of the second Flow to continue with the page template from the second page of the first Flow. Is there a way to make the page template carry over when working only with the second Flow enabled?
The layout settings are specific to your layout.
Your layout may consist of one or multiple flows.
You decide, which flows are part of the layout.
This means, if you exclude the first flow from your layout, the second flow becomes the first flow of that layout.
Your last sentence makes me think. What are you working on? Hopefully only on musical content. Please leave working on the layout only, once you have finished working on content. That’s a good moment to bring back in all flows that should be part of your layout.
Since the project file size is large, I am working only with the necessary Flow. In this situation, the page numbers also need to continue seamlessly, and the page templates must carry over as well.
I customarily have a Working (score) layout that contains all instruments and all flows. I never expect to print it, so formatting is unimportant. I use it to make sure that I never lose material through an errant click on flows or instruments.
I have layouts for a conductor score and parts that I can format when my material is all entered and ready for printing.
I may also create temporary working layouts that contained just the flow(s) and Players needed for specific entry or revision to isolate just the material I need at the time.
I almost never use multiple tabs. Working on just the layout needed optimizes the responsiveness of my workflow.

No, because if you work on a flow separated from the whole project, then the Layout doesn’t and needn’t matter.
Leave all this for later, don’t worry about it before.
That’s the intended workflow, if you use Dorico for notation.
