How are we, or the report, to know when to stop numbering page 1's and go to
page 2, etc.

Try a text box with Control Source of:

="Page " & ([Page] \ 3 + 1) & Choose([Page] Mod 3, "", "a", "b")

This uses:
- integer division to divide the page number by 3;
- Mod to get the remainder after dividing by 3;
- the Choose() function to pick the appropriate suffix.
