An interesting case, but hopefully there is a reasonable answer. If you can process the book with k2pdfopt then you should be able to extract a few pages with a different tool (e.g. pdfsam or jpdftweak) and PM me a sample. That would be very helpful.

If it's 600 pages you may want to do a chunk at a time--maybe 100-page segments. Or break up by sets of chapters or something. Are you using the MS-Windows version of k2pdfopt? If you put an 'e' in the "pages to convert" box and then click "Margin Select," you'll see all the even pages overlaid. Or you can put in a specific range, e.g. "2-50e" to get pages 2, 4, 6, ..., 50 all overlaid. You can potentially use this in combination with crop boxes (-cbox option) to get what you want. It would help most to have a sample, though, so that I could give you an example that worked on your sample.
