You pick a typical page in the batch, and zone that page the way you want it to read. For me, this means "draw a text box around the main body text, and extend it about a quarter inch into empty space all the way around." Or however much empty space is possible.

Then save out the zoning blocks. Then select all the other pages (except for weird ones), and apply the blocks to those pages. (Then go back & zone the weird ones. Anything with columns, pictures, or tables.) The blocks will appear in the same place on all the pages--so if they skipped the headers/footers on the template page, they won't catch them on other pages.

It won't matter if the zoning includes empty space, so if start-of-chapters start halfway down the page, you won't need to rezone those. If, however, start-of-chapters have an actual different layout from the other pages, they'd have to be done separately.
