There is a way, although it's a bit less robust than I'd like.
Insert a bookmark on the last page of the appendix, at or near the end of
the visible text. Replace the { SECTIONPAGES } field with a { PAGEREF }
field containing the name of the bookmark. It will display the page number
of the page that contains the bookmark.
The danger is that future editing will either delete the bookmark or add
more pages after it. Going into the Options dialog and turning on the
display of bookmarks may help to avoid trouble, if you (and anyone else who
edits the document) are aware of what the bookmark is for.

Our documents often have appendixes, which need page numbers in the
format "Page A1 of A10." We normally use the field { SECTIONPAGES }
to insert the total number of pages in the appendix.
Today, I have a document with an appendix that has the first two
pages in portrait orientation, and the remainder of the pages in
landscape. Of course I had to use a section break to change to
landscape, so this appendix now has two sections in it. Is there any
way to link these two sections so that a single field will insert the
proper number of pages on all pages of the appendix?
Thanks.
