I believe this can be accomplished in ADE ePubs by using the page-template.xpgt file. This lets you set up various master pages that can then be programmaticly applied to the text based on various rules (a multi-column view for screens over a certain size, for instance). One of the books I was looking at that used the page template had increased top margins for the first page/screen in a section (each section/chapter being a different html file). There's no reason why it couldn't use increased side margins for the first page instead.
