it is not only page.10 which makes a page.
so page.10 mostly includes the the visible part of the page: the html 
inside the body-tag. (independent of the way this part is realized: TV, 
automaketemplate, marker-templates, pure typoscript, fluid, ...)

a lot of configuration is done for the head-tag, which is generated by 
other elements than just page.10 .

for a clean new 'layout' you must start a new templating, otherwise you 
will carry on a lot of configuration you have to remove.

create a new TS-template in this page and mark it root-template. build a 
complete new page object (and config) with just that configuration you 
really need.
Now it might be helpful if you have structured your TS-templates to 
share the configuration of extensions between the whole site and this page.
