Have you tried looking into possible ways you could get rid of these "weird 
things with pages that have multiple states"?

Since it's not something that Kirigami was made for, I fear that at some 
point, it will just break, and it would neither be good if Kirigami had to 
adapt to Subsurface-mobile's specialties, nor if you had to work "against" 
Kirigami.

Maybe the fact that you are doing these "weird things" points to an important 
pattern which Kirigami is missing and should be added in a proper way.
