Customize the header:

%%%%
\version "2.22.0"

#(define ((page-number-on-or-after num) layout props arg)
  (if (< (chain-assoc-get 'page:page-number props -1) num)
   empty-stencil (interpret-markup layout props arg)))

\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "a7landscape")

  oddHeaderMarkup =
  \markup \fontsize #12 \fill-line {
    \null
    \on-the-fly #(page-number-on-or-after 3)
      \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
  }
  evenHeaderMarkup = ##f

  page-count = #5
}

{ \repeat unfold 68 { b'4 4 2 } \bar "|." }
%%%%
