Maybe you want to use the page type "spacer" and use the SPC menu item state 
to generate the needed "in-between" markup.

1 = TMENU
1 {
  wrap = <div class="normal"><ul>|</ul></div>

  NO = 1
  NO.wrap = <li>|</li>

  SPC = 1
  SPC.wrap = </ul></div>|<div class="other"><ul>

}

This will start a new div for each space page.You can even use the name of 
the spaces page in order to create headings.
Play around with it.

You can use the fields of a page to differentiate further.
SPC.wrap.override = </ul></div>|<div class="third"><ul>
SPC.wrap.override.if.field = backend_layout
SPC.wrap.override.if.equals = 2

In case of type space, you must first select a different type and change 
those fields there as these options are not displayed for type space. Then 
switch to space.
